Virtual tickets will only include live streams of keynote speakers and the presentation of the Pinnacle Awards. While we know this is a change, it’s not something we took on without due diligence and speaking with stakeholders.

Staff and members of the conference advisory committee made this decision after reviewing session feedback from the 2021 and 2022 conferences, staff feedback, and quotes to conduct higher-quality live streams. Ultimately, this is the best decision to maintain the highest quality conference for in-person attendees and speakers that aligns with budget and staff capacity.

We are committed to ensuring conference session content remains accessible and that there is an opportunity to access training virtually.

Coalition staff is planning a fully-virtual, conference-like program in the spring of 2024. Highly rated in-person conference sessions will be invited to re-present in a fully virtual format better suited to a virtual participation experience.

  • Provides a higher quality experience to virtual and in-person attendees
  • Allows in-person attendees to attend sessions they might not have attended in-person
  • Allows presenters to connect with their live audience fully
