Moving Forward Celebration, powered by SES will be produced on Cre8ive Spaces by Techwell - for a browser based dynamic digital event platform. This is a one-time-only event. Sessions will not be available on-demand and you won’t want to miss this experience. We suggest attending via desktop or laptop connection, with both audio and camera ability to participate in networking.

Cre8ive Spaces is a customizable environment where you can meet one-on-one or in groups. Ready to spice up your next virtual meeting, event, or online conference? Cre8ive Spaces will allow you to add virtual booths, an arcade, a virtual bar, theatre, sessions, a help desk, lounge area, or whatever else your event needs. The best part is the sense of connection attendees get from being able to walk their avatar up to others and interact face-to-face while sharing video, audio, screensharing, playing games, or even whiteboarding together. Plus, the 8-bit retro feel of the space offers a fun, nostalgic twist.
