For the last five years, Connect has taken place as a live event, but for 2020 we've reimagined what it means to meaningfully connect.
Connect 2020 features over 40 live sessions, all taking place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in October. Events will take place both live and in moderated forums. All educational sessions will be archived. Connect participants will network and collaborate in an event community featuring discussions, platform groups, session archives, and more.

AGENDA*
The theme for Connect 2020 is "Changing the Way the World Works.
With over 40 online sessions, we've reimagined what it means to Connect in 2020. From platforms demos to interactive case studies to meditation to wine and chocolate tastings you'll connect with the ideas, inspiration, and people you need to reset, recharge, and plan for success.
More details will be released soon.

Isn't a month a long time for an event?!
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted us to explore how to design Connect 2020 in a safe way that fulfills your desire to deeply connect with peers. Moving to a virtual experience isn’t simple, at least in the way we’re thinking about it. We can’t imagine a virtual two day Connect… Zoom fatigue is real and we want to avoid trying to jam too much content into a limited time frame.
Based on member feedback and guidance, we have reimagined Connect as a month-long community celebration, with sessions running at regularly scheduled times on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week. Keynotes, case studies, product demos, show and tells, and unique network opportunities will weave into a comprehensive agenda – spanning time zones and transcending distance.
