What’s different at Southern SaaS 2020?

After sell-out gatherings in 2018 and 2019, this year COVID-19 has forced us to go virtual. Keynotes from our international and local speakers, along with the workshops and planned meet-up events, will be conducted online.

The upside, of course, is there’s no need to travel to this year’s event, and the sessions will be available on-demand for those who can’t watch them live.

The programme has been expanded this year with a packed schedule of speakers and workshops in the first week (10-12 November) followed by a week of deep-dive workshops (16-20 November) and a week of private appointments to tap into the knowledge of recognised subject experts (23-27 November).

Unless alert level restrictions prevent it, we’re also planning regional face-to-face networking events around the country to bring attendees together for some of the keynote sessions. Details will be finalised before registrations open on 29 September.
