A Hybrid Symposium using Fourwaves
The 2022 Symposium is using an interactive, online platform called Fourwaves, allowing presenters and attendees new ways to experience all aspects of the symposium. Fourwaves provides an intuitive and centralized, SaaS web platform that streamlines registration and livestreams interactive presentations and poster presentations.
“Asmat (Symposium co-chair) and I are really excited for the symposium this year! Coming back in-person to the Michigan League with the virtual option was important to us and the planning committee. We hope these options allow everyone the chance to attend,” expressed Dush Fernando, co-chair for the event. “Dr. Tazin Daniels is a vibrant speaker everyone is sure to enjoy as our keynote, and our posters and breakout sessions offer diverse, innovative topics highlighting great work from across the Michigan IT community.”
