Reggie Yativ, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Revenue Officer at Agora. “Just like the technology we power, this event is all about community. We want to gather developers and entrepreneurs who are itching to build the next app or platform for us to connect, play or work from any corner of the globe. We invite all to join us to learn more about the future of RTE.”
In addition to programming featuring leading experts, such as Q&As and AMAs, RTE2020 will feature interactive elements including:
- Virtual Networking: Attendees can network at will by creating a profile and messaging other attendees through the event’s mobile app, as well as participate in casual one-on-one “cocktail hour” experiences where they’ll be matched with new attendees every five minutes.
- Interactive Polling: Right in the middle of a speech, AMA or panel, speakers can create and distribute a quick poll in real-time. Participants can see other attendees who chose the same answer as them and use the poll as a discussion point to connect.
- Personalized “Groupfie”: Each attendee will receive a fun, personalized “groupfie” photo, modeled after a selfie, with speakers and other attendees to share on social media.
