Virtual Summits
Custom Webinars
A Virtual Summit is a gathering of people sharing
a common virtual environment on the Internet,
rather than meeting in a physical location. Virtual
Summits are very interactive, looking and feeling
a lot like physical meetings in terms of the
information exchange.
Showcase your products and services to a targeted
national audience. Webinars are a great way to
promote your new solutions, product launches,
strategic partnerships and more.
A Virtual Summit produced by the Center for Digital
Education will showcase your company’s solutions
to education decision makers through a live/
prerecorded event with a keynote presentation, an
optional panel discussion or on-demand breakout
sessions, and extended access to online resources
that provide follow-up learning opportunities.
VIRTUAL SUMMITS BENEFITS
Virtual Summits are a cost-effective way to stretch
your marketing dollars and reach a national
audience. They are ideal for:
Launching new products
Adding a virtual conference to a physical conference to augment meeting attendance
Presenting a thought-leadership forum
Sponsoring a Town Hall
Hosting an analyst briefing
Generating leads with a targeted audience of
education leaders. Lead guarantee: 175–200

“The Arizona CIO/CTO Forum is a home-grown and participant-led event, but
partnering with the Center for Digital Education has helped us make it a real
conference… Sponsors and vendors have an unparalleled opportunity to
interact with district decision makers. Conference participants are the sort
of hard-charging innovators that are searching for solutions and providers.”

“DELC went really well. When I first arrived I thought I was out of place being the
only software/platform company amongst the hardware manufacturers. But then
the districts started talking to me and asking me questions — the conversations
were fantastic! I actually feel I had an edge over the other vendors there. The
group is tight-knit, it’s like a fraternity/sorority.”
