The day-long virtual only program will feature dozens of education sessions in a variety of formats --deep-dive presentations, 15-minute snippets, 30-minute conversations, interview sessions and technology demos from a virtual trade show. Subject matter experts will also be on hand all day for live Q&A.
"Whether you were in San Diego, and just couldn't get to all the sessions you wanted to see, or whether you were a part of the hybrid experience and just want more, or whether couldn't make it at all, this is your chance to see what you missed," says Doyle. "This year's education was top-notch, and delivered in so many unique formats, we invite people to come in and design an education plan just right for them. Corporate or association, novice or expert, marketer or event planners, there's something here for everyone! We're calling this our Epic event because it is the culmination of months of work and it will be an awesome opportunity for people to access this education if they didn't make the event in San Diego or didn't catch the hybrid event's streamed session. Here is everyone's chance. "
