Re-imagining the way we deliver conferences As the current global situation continues to unfold, we understand that it may not be possible to attend our events in person.

At the same time, we also understand that collaboration is more vital than ever and for that, you can still rely on CI to bring the industry together but in a different way. We are transforming quickly to ensure you can now connect virtually and continue to gain unparalleled access to market leading intelligence and to the facilitation of a global exchange of expertise.

Our new virtual events continue to be guided by our unifying philosophy: we believe that growth and success occurs when the power of people and the power of information come together. We may not be able to gather in person, but nothing stops connection and innovation.

What you can expect at a virtual conference Our virtual conferences are the same conferences you have come to expect in person but transformed to a virtual format. The new virtual conference delivers the same access to a community of industry leaders we have spent decades building and nurturing. We invite you to be part of this community.
