We & Goliath were responsible for the online conference software strategy, setup, training and management, and support.

We also took the lead on providing sponsor visibility throughout the event in the form of interactive vendor booths, logos on the website, videos and social posts.

We ran multiple trainings for speakers, moderators, vendors and even created a custom knowledge base and how to navigate infographic.
