Michael Caselli, non-executive chairman of organizer Clarion Events, said,
“We’ve re-written the script for digital conferencing and done something never done before. It’s more like a BBC news program. We’re going to be delivering content in bite-size chunks, and people will be able to target their experience and go after the topics they want to see.”
Up to 5,000 people are expected to participate during the week. Caselli said the conference is free as a way “to provide information and focus for people. We feel we owe it to the industry and want to be a good corporate citizen.” For more information or to register, go to icenorthamerica.com.
