In light of ongoing developments with COVID-19, this year's TIDES Conference & Exhibition, scheduled for September 15-18, 2020, will now be delivered as a 100% virtual event. As a sponsor/exhibitor on this year's program, our number one priority is to deliver you an outstanding virtual experience, resulting in more opportunities for networking, brand visibility and lead generation than ever before.

Our new digital platform allows sponsors to have the full experience of being at an actual event with live video conversations from the moment people step into your branded Virtual Hub, just as you would do with a physical trade booth. During the event delegates will be able to experience:

• Branded company profile page showcasing pre-recorded videos (demos, product pitches...)
• Fully branded private video chat room, for each staff member, invite people to your private room to collaborate and do business. You can screen share, annotate, invite others to join too
• Resource area - you can include links, a slide deck or brochure which visitors can download, and add your own links to web pages, or videos
• Browse the attendee directory and move through the event space to find people you want to invite into your own “room” to talk
• Recommend new people to join the meeting from profile content with up to 25 delegates
• Network – Interact live on camera with all those that drop in to create an atmosphere in your space inclusive of all visitors
• Event directory/Expo Hall – spot on listing with your branding for all attendees to browse and links to interact in your booth space

Please ensure you read each section carefully and meet the required deadlines.

If you have any questions, please contact the Operations Coordinator: Alexandra Kapetanopoulos alexandra.kapetanopoulos@informa.com

We look forward to working with you in making this a successful event!
