TAKING PLACE ONLINE AND IN FOUR CITIES AROUND THE GLOBE
Get ready to be fully immersed in the world of Connected Ink for 27 hours straight …
Connected Ink 2021 will take place for the second time as a hybrid event where attendees can join both online and at physical locations. This year’s line-up will showcase an exciting array of events that can be visited across four online streams (via YouTube and Zoom) and four cities around the globe.
The event kicks off in Tokyo on 16th of November at 18:00 (local time), moving to Beijing, then Düsseldorf, and over to Portland. The finale brings this year’s Connected Ink full circle by wrapping up in Tokyo a little more than a day later.
Some of the event’s sessions will be exclusively virtual, while others will take place on stages at one of the four venues. Most of the sessions at the live locations will also be broadcast online for the global audience. Anyone can join online, but physical event capacities are limited. If you’d like to jump in on the action at one of the live events, we recommend registering as soon as possible.
The safety of the participants and our community is our highest priority. In view of the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we are keeping a close eye on the current developments at the venues and will follow the instructions given by the local authorities. We are developing concepts to protect the health and safety of attendees and provide the best possible event experience for our guests.
