Online Conferences & Events
“I wish I could express how impressed I was by the conference this year and the one last year. The site was set up in a very intuitive and user-friendly way, the quality of the recordings was excellent, and the extra features (chats, messaging, etc) were also extremely useful. Actually, I'm starting to wonder why ALL conferences can't be conducted this way! ”

What are Online or Virtual Conferences?
For a face-to-face conference, you travel to a conference site.
For an online conference, the conference site comes to you.

What do first time iCohere online/virtual conference planners say?
Web Conferences help their members stay abreast of current policy issues and best practices in critical areas.
Webinar training events provide low cost professional development opportunities for larger numbers of our workforce.
Non-existent travel costs allow a more diverse cross-section of their membership to participate, thereby expanding the community and the shared knowledge base.
They generated revenue both by charging registration fees and by repackaging presentations for selling after the conference was over.
