How will we view?

The 2023 Virtual Conference will be held through Whova. The platform will open closer to the conference. All attendees must create a Whova account they don't have one already. Content will be streamed and embedded into the platform.

The platform gives access to speed networking opportunities, community discussion, gaming and prizes, networking, exhibitor booths, and virtual meet-ups!

*Note the platform will work best on google chrome and with zoom installed. Recordings will also be housed within the platform.
