Imagine announced spring symposium
In the face of travel restrictions and shuttered show floors, Imagine is working to stay connected with its customers and keep the industry conversation going by rolling out a six-week series of business-driving virtual events named as "Imagine’s Spring Symposium: Fast-Track Time to Revenue".
Over the next six weeks Imagine customers have access to a variety of newly created live and on-demand content ranging from deep-dive tech talks and professional skill-ups to coffee break-sized webcasts on best practices relevant to their business.
