2020 Will Be Live and Online
On March 27, we announced that EclipseCon 2020 will be a virtual event. There will be no charge to attend the conference, so we expect to see a significant increase in attendance for 2020.
We are using Swapcard as the platform for the event. Swapcard is known for its AI-driven matchmaking, allowing event attendees (including sponsors) to connect with each other based on their platform profiles. Connections can be via chat, video calls, or scheduled meetings. Sponsors will have early access to the platform to complete their booth setup, create their company teams, and set up their user profiles before attendees are invited to join.
When the conference begins, the action is all in the platform. Four concurrent tracks of talks will be streamed, and recordings will be immediately available for on-demand viewing. Live chats will be active, and attendees can schedule private meetings, organize round table discussions, and make plans to connect during the after-hours networking time.
Please join us as a sponsor and play a significant role in this year’s event – we need your participation to make 2020 a success!
