What is a “virtual conference”? The SharpBrains Virtual Summit is just like a physical conference — we will gather in a forum to hear dozens of speakers present and discuss latest information, to connect with each other, to explore opportunities and partnerships, to discover new tools presented by sponsors and exhibitors. However, rather than having hundreds of people spend significant time and money travelling to a conference, the SharpBrains Summit travels to you. Thanks to a participant-only website, you will access each presentation either by joining the live webcast or by accessing a recording after the presentation. You will be able to discuss and connect with speakers and participants, before, during, and after, the conference. You only need to have a computer with an Internet connection and audio.
CEUs: We will provide, at no additional charge, a CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE equivalent to 24 hours of Continuing Education Units to those interested. Please note that we have not pursued external accreditation.
