<p>In order to provide an improved user experience, the Digital Academy’s Innovation Services team has been experimenting with the development of a virtual exposition (vExpo) in support of the recent shift to virtual events. The vExpo offers a portal for virtual events, where participants can easily access event materials from one location. Participants can navigate a virtual lobby and browse through the agenda, speakers biographies, live presentations as well as an exhibit area that showcases virtual kiosks where event partners can promote and share information on their products and services.</p>
