As the world undergoes tremendous changes in the wake of COVID-19, the importance of online and contactless payments has skyrocketed. With discussions continuing to emerge on how this tech will propel the global payments industry, who are the leaders of this innovative technology? We’re highlighting Bay Area-based individuals that are leading the wave of blockchain innovation and moving it into the mainstream.
Over the last three months, we've seen the entire world hop on the virtual train, and the event industry was no different. Now, events like Collision, Developer Week, and Grace Hopper are pivoting their conferences from in-person to online. In fact, according to our events database, almost 25% of all scheduled 2020 conferences have decided to take their event virtual.
To help you keep track of which event has made the switch to digital, we’re sharing our ongoing list of events that are now online.
It’s been a shocking 10 weeks for the conference industry. As a key partner to many event organizers and someone who hosts events, conferences are something we rely on to stay in business. We feel for you.
For an event and PR company, we have SO much data. We sit on a gold mine of information we’ve built from scratch: 16,376 records of conferences happened or scheduled since we opened our doors five years ago.* These numbers change daily if not hourly, we do not try to claim this includes every event in existence, and yes, the uncertainty about the rest of 2020 remains.
As we wait, we’re incredibly busy keeping these numbers and the details that come with them updated as information becomes available, as well as working with podcast and webinar opportunities so clients can continue to build thought leadership right now.
