Thursday Special Events
Wake Up & Workout with Wesley + Trivia Night!
Not only is Wesley a powerful, positive speaker - he is also a powerful athlete!
Wes has been gracious enough to partner with the APA-IL and Chicagoland gyms to bring a virtual workout to conference attendees 7:00 AM on September 17th. No special equipment is needed and Wesley will suggest accommodations for a wide range of abilities. You won't want to miss this challenging, adaptive boot camp-style workout!!
Come get socially quiz-dant with us!
When your conference is virtual, EVERY hour can be a happy hour, so grab a tipple, gather your team and get ready for trivia! From urban planning to performing arts, no subject is off-limits in this “highly” (not very) competitive, “super-serious” (laid back and fun) quiz night. Details for the evening will be emailed to those that opt in for the Trivia Night when they register. There is no extra fee for this event.
You might ask yourself:
What do I need to attend the virtual conference?
To attend the virtual conference, you need a good internet connection, your device or computer, and a valid registration. You will receive login details a few days prior to the conference.
I find so much value in Q&A, can I ask questions in a virtual setting?
Each session has a public online chat discussion.
Some of our sessions even though prerecorded have a Live Q&A component allowing interaction real time.
Is it a Live session? Then it also has Live Q&A!
If I want to watch 2 sessions that are streaming simultaneously, can I go back later and view one of them?
Yes! All of the sessions will be recorded and uploaded for viewing after the live, streamed presentation. They will be available until June 2021, so you have plenty of time to watch all the sessions, even multiple times if you really want!
Follow the conference hashtag #APAIL2020 on Twitter continue the conference conversations!
