The Virtual conference runs February, 28 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. The doors to our virtual conference will open at 9:00 a.m. At that time, you’ll be able to login and explore.
The conference agenda is customizable, so you can choose which sessions align most with your interests!
View the complete programThis year, we have one main auditorium where all the Connecting the Dots Spotlight Sessions will be happening, with each talk flowing seamlessly into the next one.
Following the first round of sessions, participants can join one of our “Follow the Ripple” sessions, which will provide an opportunity for you to connect with the speakers, ask questions and learn more about the presentations.
We've created detailed step-by-step instructions on how to navigate and access the vFairs event platform if you are using screen magnification, VoiceOver or screen reading software. Please visit our website to download the documents and/or watch the instructional videos.
If you require technical support, you'll find the ‘Need Help’ button in the top right-hand corner of your screen, or you can stop by the CNIB Hub in Vendor Alley for support.
In Vendor Alley, exhibitors may also be offering sessions and special events for you to participate in. Be sure to visit our virtual vendors and explore their products and services – you might even walk away with some swag!
If you find yourself unable to attend a session or part of the Connecting the Dots Conference, don’t worry! We understand that scheduling conflicts and unexpected events can arise. That's why we're happy to share that recordings of all the sessions and conference materials will be made available after the conference concludes. Keep an eye on your inbox for more details after February 28.
