The virtual Conference WAPECC Abuja21 will mirror the dynamics of a physical conference from entering the hall, attending the sessions, engaging with speakers and interacting with exhibitors to networking with co-attendees via real-time chat tools.

The two-day digital WAPECC Abuja21 will include:

• Virtual panel discussions and projects presentations offering the same presentations about exciting products and services as in-person events, complete with messaging between attendees and exhibitors.
• Virtual Networking. In virtual session rooms, attendees will see the list of attendees, making it easy to begin one-on-one chats
• A virtual lounge will facilitate discussion, creating connections between attendees interested in similar topics.
