In response to ongoing travel restrictions and safety concerns, this event will be a virtual event – the 2021 Quirk’s Event Virtual Global, which will take place February 23-25, 2021. An online venue also enables us to have a truly global event in a way we couldn’t do in person. The event will still offer ways to connect and find new business partners and we have an exciting lineup of speakers and exhibitors. We think we’ll come as close as you can get to an in-person event!
A virtual conference is NOT just a series of webinars. It is a conference held online but with many of the same features of an in-person event.
Learning: Attend the sessions through live presentations and on-demand video broadcasts. Ask questions and interact with your fellow attendees.
Networking: View and message fellow attendees. Engage is text chats and ask questions of speakers.
Business: Browse the sponsors’ pages and learn of the latest services and products.

The Quirk’s Event Virtual portal will open approximately the Friday prior to the event, giving you enough time to create your profile and agenda and get familiar with all of the features the event has to offer. If you register a few days before the event, you will receive your credentials to enter the portal a few hours after your register.
If you simply want to listen to/watch the sessions, all you’ll need is a good set of speakers or headphones.
Yes! You can post a video business card, stating what you hope to learn or are most looking forward to by attending. You can post a rant-and-rave video to tell people what is on your mind. You can participate in lunch-and-learn small table discussions, text chat with attendees and speakers during sessions, mix and mingle at the happy hour by going table to table and of course you can connect and video chat with other attendees.
Either in the Exhibitor Zone or in the My Recommendation section of the platform, you can find a wide range of insight providers. You can click to their page to watch videos, download content (white papers and literature) and swipe your badge (to leave your business card). You can also schedule calls and have one-on-one video chats with exhibitor staff.
Yes, but only if they want to connect with you. You can message people, but no personal contact information is shared or exportable.

Be comfortable! After all, you’ll be participating from your home or office. But remember: It is a live video event, so you must wear clothing!
Yes.
Virtual events bring the experience of an in-person conference to your personal computer, so just like an in-person conference, you have the freedom to pick the sessions you attend. But attending the event in its entirety – the sessions, the breakouts, the virtual trade show – will help you to get the most out of the experience. But you are not required to attend the entire day. Come and go as you please over the three days.
Day 1 – 8:00 a.m. ET, February 23
Day 2 – 8:00 a.m. ET, February 24
Day 3 – 8:00 p.m. ET, February 24, through 8:00 a.m. ET, February 25.
