No boring virtual meetings: What virtual GSMCON looks like

We’re meeting you right where you are this year for the virtual Government Social Media Conference on March 23-25, 2021, to get you engaged and connected with hundreds of professionals across the country where it’ll feel just like we’re together in person. 

We’re obsessed with making this a virtual experience to remember – with music, emcees, special livestreams, unique types of learning and some surprises along the way. If you haven’t already registered, make sure to save your spot before prices increase! Here’s what you can expect at virtual GSMCON2021.

No boring virtual meetings

Hearing the words “virtual conference” can stir images of you cut off from the rest of attendees, listening in on the same conversation you’ve heard before, not really getting what you needed. That’s exactly why we’re building GSMCON2021 as a fully interactive experience filled with new sessions led by industry leaders and many opportunities to genuinely connect.

You’re not just logging off one virtual meeting and hopping into another — our platform is built for you to connect. Have fun with our live emcees and hosts all throughout the program, meet with sponsors in the virtual expo area, and be the first to know about special announcements airing at GSMCON2021.

Our lineup of GSMCON2021 speakers includes fully-live general sessions with high profile speakers live-streamed in real-time. Even our semi-live breakout session speakers are going to connect with you in the chat box and then come on live to field your questions on camera. 

Want even more interaction? 

Being an All Access ticket holder means you’ll also be a part of our special, fully interactive sessions that are all about coordinating with your peers, problem solving and finding solutions together. All Access ticket holders can participate in all live, special social media Live Reviews, What Would You Do? scenarios and virtual peer PowerTalks. 

Make it the experience YOU want

New to GSMCON2021, we’re also offering multiple different types of sessions. Attend demos for walk-throughs & how-to’s on creating GIFs and animations, Adobe Rush vs. Premiere, podcasting and creating 360 video. 

Want to attend a certain session live? We encourage you to! You’ll also be able to go back and watch on-demand any important information you might’ve missed up to 3 months after the conference ends. 

Customize your experience even further with add-on, pre-conference workshops for only $75 each. Hosted by industry experts, get everything you need to know on an Intro to Government Social Media, Smartphone Video Lab and Legal & First Amendment Issues for SocialGov.

Not just one more thing for you to balance

We know many in our community already wear so many different hats — not just at your agency, but also at home and in your own communities. Adding one more thing to your plate right now might feel impossible, but with this program designed for you, future self will thank you.

In just three days, you’ll log off knowing all the best practices instead of spending your valuable time searching around. You’ll make your work more efficient, and make you more confident and productive.

We designed this program with three daily built-in breaks to have opportunities to network with each other or balance anything you might need to with work or family. We’re also planning fun, stretch breaks and self-care reminders throughout the program and putting together a printable kids’ kit for anyone working from home.

Engage. Connect. Support.

Investing in yourself at this year’s virtual GSMCON2021 means you get to be a part of a learning experience — not just a day of boring virtual meetings. Engage, connect and support your fellow peers, share ideas and conquer challenges, virtually this year.
