FAQ

2021 IG Summit Experience:

View from the Summit: April 22

IG Apex Summit: September 22-23

Is IG Apex Summit cancelled this year?

No. This year, we will be offering two events. View from the Summit, taking place on April 22 and IG Apex Summit coming in September. Both events will be offered virtually this year.

IG Apex Summit will return live, when it’s safe to do so, in 2022.

What’s the difference between the two events?

2021 View from the Summit will focus on inspiration, connection and motivation. The agenda will deliver presentations from keynote speakers, senior executives, and engagement from highly successful IG teams. A large part of the program will be structured around promoting interactive and organic connection and networking with your peers and colleagues. CE credits will not be available at View from the Summit, but these will return in the fall.

IG Apex Summit is the same great conference you’ve grown to expect. The agenda will deliver world class keynote speakers, ed-track sessions (CE credits), Network Exchange, social engagement, top notch entertainment, and more face-to-face networking opportunities.

What is a virtual conference?

A virtual conference is hosted entirely online for attendees to participate from anywhere in the world. Both events will be delivered on a digital platform, Intrado, which simulates a live event. You can expect the same top-level content that you’d find at the in-person event.

What if I’m not available during the conference dates?

The best part of a virtual conference is that sessions can be offered on-demand. Most sessions will be available shortly after the conference ends for a limited time.

Length of on-demand will vary per session so be sure to check early to avoid missing a session you’d like to see.

Can I participate in the virtual event with my colleagues?

Yes! You’ll find more resources at our Resource Centre located off the Main Lobby. All downloads will be added to your virtual briefcase to revisit during the conference or download to your computer.

Technical and Pre-Conference

What do I need to do before the conference?

The most vital thing to do once the platform is available is to complete your Intrado profile. This is where other attendees will learn more about you and be able to better engage with you based on your interests and goals. The platform will be available a day before the conference so you’ll be able to familiarize yourself with the platform before the event kicks off. More details to follow in our View from the Summit communications closer to the conference date.

Please be sure that you are using Google Chrome to access the conference. The platform will not function on Internet Explorer. To switch your default browser to Google Chrome, follow these instructions.

Are there any technical requirements needed to participate?

Intrado is a web-based platform. To attend, you must have access to internet and a web browser. This can be on your computer, laptop or mobile device although we do suggest attending on a computer for the best experience. Although most browsers will work, Intrado runs on Google Chrome. Please DO NOT use Internet Explorer.
