The 2020 IABC World Conference is going virtual. The event still takes place 14–17 June, and you will be able to experience it from anywhere in the world.

Many of you are wondering what a virtual conference will be like and, over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing examples and visuals to help paint a picture. This conference will be much more than a webinar or in a video conference call.

We’ll be using a platform that will allow you to:

Move around the conference hall,

Attend keynote and breakout sessions in an environment designed to make you feel like you’re sitting among peers in a theater.

Use your phone or tablet as a second screen for chats or Q&A sessions while watching speakers on your computer.

Connect with other attendees for networking and discussion.

Visit an exhibit hall, a help desk and a resource library,

Go back and watch recorded sessions, available immediately and posted for a year after the event.
