The Presence Summit, a new virtual conference taking place on July 15, 2020, will focus on teaching attendees how to orchestrate and create transformative experiences that engage, influence and connect with their audiences, including customers, vendors, employees, or co-workers.

The topics will cover a range of easy-to-learn and apply skills which include: recognizing subtle, non-verbal communication cues; utilizing personal strengths for greater collaboration; creating powerful presentations; increasing both size and engagement of community members; and much more . Group exercises will help attendees better understand their unique communication styles and learn how they can effectively engage those with opposing styles. Following the Presence Summit, participants should be able to take the skills they learn back to their teams to further collective understanding and better video communication experiences company wide.
