By turning its annual New York Conference into a virtual event, Continuity Insights has expanded its program to make it an inclusive national experience available to a wider audience of BC/DR professionals. The 9th Annual Conference will take place “virtually” during the week of October 19-23.
“With the weight of the pandemic impacting all of us, we’re committed to delivering one of our most diverse conference programs ever that will touch on the job responsibilities of business continuity professionals across the spectrum,” said Robert Nakao, Executive Publisher of Continuity Insights.
“Our goal is to provide education, networking, and the exchange of ideas and information to all business continuity professionals nationwide, from millennials to seasoned practitioners, regardless of the sophistication of their technology, industry, or company size, and presenting it in a format that’s convenient and mindful of our attendees day-to-day job responsibilities.”
The virtual event is designed to meet today’s new normal featuring a top-notch interactive and immersive online experience for attendees. By presenting the comprehensive educational program over five days, there will be no need to commit uninterrupted hours at a computer. Should you miss a session, the Conference organizers have you covered. All presentations will be recorded and available for on-demand viewing until January 31, 2021.
The conference program will include nearly two dozen critically-relevant sessions presented by leading industry thought leaders, networking opportunities with your peers through the conference app, a virtual exhibit hall to view the latest products, software, and services, and valuable continuing education credits. With all sessions being recorded for on-demand viewing, attendees can experience even more of the top-flight educational program at their convenience.
