Conference Tradeshow
Located at the heart of this year’s Conference in the venue foyer, the tradeshow floor will serve as a central gathering space for delegates as they enter and exit, move between sessions, and access refreshments throughout the event. With 10+ hours of dedicated tradeshow time built into this year’s program, there’ll be ample opportunity to connect with the people, products, and ideas shaping the future of our industry.
Tech Tables
Brand new for this year’s Conference, our Tech Tables provide delegates the chance to book a series of one-on-one appointments with vendors offering an innovative industry product or service. Think of it like speed dating, but for tech solutions! Not quite sealed the deal? Don’t worry – there’ll have plenty of time to follow up any loose ends with additional drop-ins throughout the event.
