2020 Virtual Senior Management Conference
Our 2020 Virtual Senior Management Conference program offers valuable insights on Artificial Intelligence and its uses, where it is today, how it’s evolving, future prospects, and why AI has important implications and opportunities for members of ALDA and for their customers and users.
In addition to the outstanding presentations, we are providing an engaging, interactive experience for attendees who are interested in networking and connecting with other ALDA members throughout the three days:
Trivia Contest: ALDA will host a coffee break in between the presentations. During this brief break, there will be a trivia contest tied to the theme of the days’ session.
ALDA Lounge: After each sessions’ presentations are completed, join fellow attendees in the ALDA Lounge to meet new members or interact with other ALDA member executives.
Group Chat: Our virtual conference platform has group chat functionality to talk to other attendees. We will share the attendee list in advance so you can identify individuals you may want to talk to.
