Conference Support

An online conference is a rich, interactive experience that replaces an in-person event. Attendees gather in a common, interactive virtual environment on the web, where they can watch live-streaming sessions, download materials from speakers and exhibitors, visit exhibitor booths and ask experts questions. They also can network with people of common interest or geography. Attendees can participate in live chats with fellow attendees during sessions, between sessions, and in lounge areas.

The conference is on Friday, December 4th from 9:00am to 5:30pm ET. The first session begins at 10 am after an opening introduction, and you are encouraged to visit the exhibit hall the evening before, during the live conference, or after the event. All speaker sessions will be recorded and available for 60 days and exhibitor booths will remain available as well for that period.

There are 20 sessions divided into 4 “rooms”, with each time session taking place at 10am, 11am, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm. There’s no reserving a seat for a session, so you can also pop in and out of sessions at your leisure. All sessions are recorded and you will have 60 days post-conference to access them – so if you miss one, you can listen and see it later. All materials are available during the session when you listen to it, or before or after in the resource library.

The keynote is from Noon ET until 12:45pm.
