This most recent vETC marks the sixth in our conference series designed to examine emerging tech topics while implementing virtual capabilities beyond those of traditional in-person conferences. One fortuitous outcome of the pioneering virtual series is that it helped set the stage for an industry-wide model necessary during the pandemic. vETC has advanced to cover a wide breadth of mainstream topics providing great insight into early-stage technologies in a TED Talks-style platform.
