New for CERTIFIED 2021 – A Hybrid Format
As the world is evolving, so are we. CERTIFIED 2021 will be held as a hybrid event. Remember the excitement of the live event with great food and networking with peers across the country? We plan to bring that back in 2021 and will be meeting and learning in-person at the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista. There will be keynotes, workshops, breakout sessions, testing labs, networking opportunities, and of course, great food. We will also bring back the best of CERTIFIED 2020 Virtual with a limited online conference pass for those unable to attend in person. This pass will grant access to a livestream of all keynotes, livestream of select breakout sessions and workshops, online Certiport What’s New pages, and online exhibit booths.
One of the many things we have learned in 2020 is that THINGS CAN CHANGE. We are prepared to offer a complete virtual event that would also be a great learning, development, and networking opportunity if needed. If we do need to cancel the in-person event, all those who registered for the in-person event will be moved to the virtual event and refunded the difference between the two registrations.
We look forward to reconnecting with all of you in 2021! Please email us at certifiedconf@certiport.com with any questions.
