VCON24 Meet-ups

ACES is constantly exploring new ways to enhance the virtual conference experience, especially around networking.

Based on survey feedback from conference attendees, we are introducing an opportunity for casual networking and community-building interactions this year.

Welcome to regional networking meet-ups on Whova, the conference app. These regional meet-ups seek to provide a relaxed environment for you to connect, share experiences, and expand your professional networks beyond your specific niche within the editing industry. We invite you to join us.

Details

• Format: The meet-ups are organized by region, facilitating your connection with others in your geographical area.
• Structure: Each meet-up lasts one hour and accommodates up to 20 participants. Attendees have the option to join with their cameras on or off, based on their preference.
• Scheduling: Meet-ups will be scheduled throughout the conference. Four to six meet-ups will be offered simultaneously each day in order to facilitate participation.
• Platform: All meet-ups will be conducted through Whova, our conference app.
• Space is limited: A maximum of 20 people can join a meet-up. This is a first-come, first-served opportunity so please don't sign up unless you fully plan to attend.
