Agora teams up with virtual event platform Run The World to
host RTE2020 and unite leading global voices as worldwide streaming
adoption skyrockets
SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Sept. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ: API), a Real-Time Engagement
(RTE) platform-as-a-service, today announced it will host its
premier virtual conference RTE2020 on October 13-14, 2020. RTE2020 will remotely bring
together leading global voices to discuss innovations in voice,
video and streaming, at an unprecedented time when RTE is being
adopted globally.
Agora is partnering with its very own customer, virtual event
platform Run The World, to produce an immersive, deeply engaging
experience throughout two days of speaking sessions, panels and
more. Attendees can register free of charge now at
rte2020.agora.io, and they will receive an access link and log-in
to create a profile and freely explore the conference. RTE2020 will
be hosted on Run The World's website and mobile app.
"RTE2020 is a milestone opportunity for innovators to connect
and collaborate on the future of Real-Time Engagement at a time
when adoption of it has been urgent," said Reggie Yativ, Chief Operations Officer and Chief
Revenue Officer at Agora. "Just like the technology we power, this
event is all about community. We want to gather developers and
entrepreneurs who are itching to build the next app or platform for
us to connect, play or work from any corner of the globe. We invite
all to join us to learn more about the future of RTE."
In addition to programming featuring leading experts, such as
Q&As and AMAs, RTE2020 will feature interactive elements
including:
- Virtual Networking: Attendees can network at will by
creating a profile and messaging other attendees through the
event's mobile app, as well as participate in casual one-on-one
"cocktail hour" experiences where they'll be matched with new
attendees every five minutes.
- Interactive Polling: Right in the middle of a
speech, AMA or panel, speakers can create and distribute a quick
poll in real-time. Participants can see other attendees who chose
the same answer as them and use the poll as a discussion point to
connect.
- Personalized "Groupfie": Each attendee will receive
a fun, personalized "groupfie" photo, modeled after a selfie, with
speakers and other attendees to share on social media.
"Unlike one-way webinars or traditional video conferencing, our
Run The World platform enables attendees to meet speakers and
socialize with each other," said Xiaoyin
Qu, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Run The World.
"The experience we are creating for RTE2020 goes to show dynamic,
virtual conferences have a strong place in our future. We couldn't
be more excited to partner with Agora and connect the world's
leading minds for this event."
Agora will release RTE2020 speakers, a program schedule and more
details closer to the event in October. Please visit
