As such, STC is hosting SEC21 as a 100% virtual event. Our production studio located at the Westin Ottawa Hotel in downtown Ottawa, Ontario (CANADA) will conform with preventative health protocols. The safety of our event production team and our speakers is our priority and we are taking measures to ensure we will be in compliance with the most current guidelines for events as set forth by the Ontario provincial government and Ottawa Public Health.<\/span> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.6″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.6″][et_pb_text module_class=”no-highlight” _builder_version=”4.6.1″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.6″ custom_padding=”||31px|||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.6″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.1″]<\/p>\n We will provide a technology platform that is robust, including a trouble-shooting concierge service with live support from our event team.<\/p>\n The virtual experience will be engaging and offer 2-way interactions between delegates plus there will be live and pre-recorded content. Our program will feature shorter (snack-sized) pieces of content and longer (up to 45-minutes) sessions. Time zones across Canada will be factored in so that no one misses out!<\/p>\n We promise to entertain (and surprise and delight) our online attendees with the same lively and fun ambiance that in-person delegates are accustomed to experiencing.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||65px|||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.sporttourismcanada.com\/sport-events-congress\/what-is-sports-event-congress\/sec-registration\/” button_text=”REGISTRATION INFO” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.sporttourismcanada.com\/whos-coming-to-sport-events-congress\/” button_text=”WHO’S COMING” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.sporttourismcanada.com\/schedule-speakers\/” button_text=”SCHEDULE AND SPEAKERS” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SEC21: Our COVID-19 ResponseUpdated: January 2021At STC, we\u2019re working to keep both information flowing and making resources available to you for now, and for the future, with a focus on recovery planning.While we have seen a huge uptake in hybrid events, STC believes that there is too much risk associated with hosting our annual event […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1478,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-20995","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAt STC, we\u2019re working to keep both information flowing and making resources
