Virtual conferences are on the rise

Today is DockerCON Live 2020 – Link is here. And API2PDF will be attending. They also made the entire event free.

With so many conferences being cancelled, we are seeing the rise and likely permanence of virtual conferences and virtual conference technology. Converting your in-person conference which has speakers, presentations, networking events, breakout rooms to an online conference can be absolutely daunting. We know this because our sister company, OpenWater, has been helping numerous associations convert their in-person conference to an online one with Zoom. OpenWater built a virtual conference platform to make it easy for attendees and speakers to connect to the proper Zoom meeting to streamline the process as much as possible.

They have already helped out ISPOR 2020, LSA Annual Meeting, and AAG Annual Meeting and more to come! With the pandemic hitting, we believe virtual conferences will be around for quite some time in some capacity, ultimately resulting in some kind of hybrid between in-person and online attending.
