The show will be an all-virtual collection of keynotes, workshops and panel discussions available on its ConnectIN portal for registered attendees.

The show was moved online July 28 due to COVID-19--it would have been in Las Vegas.

That portal will allow attendees to start networking online--hosting remote video and voice meetings, for example--before they gather online, then tune into sessions and keynotes. It will remain available after the Sept. 14-16 show as a source of on demand content.
