The international COVID-19 outbreak has halted major events across the globe, including Adobe Summit 2020. The event was scheduled to take place March 29-April 2 in Las Vegas. Citing the health and safety of all involved, a statement from Adobe called the cancellation a “difficult but important” decision. The news was particularly disappointing for eCommerce professionals. Adobe planned to make the tenth anniversary Magento Imagine conference “ bigger and better than ever” by merging it with the Adobe Summit for the first time. The collaboration would have provided an opportunity for guests to rub elbows with 20,000 leaders in commerce, marketing automation, analytics and advertising. After the cancellation, the tech giant wasted no time announcing it planned to move pieces of Adobe Summit 2020 online. Those who wish to participate can now sign up for free. “While we are disappointed that we will not be together in-person with our community this year, we are excited to host Adobe Summit as a digital experience,” Adobe digital experience representative Anil Chakravarty said in a statement. On March 31, virtual guests will be able to watch the live keynote speeches and gain on-demand access to more than 100 virtual breakout sessions from Adobe, its customers and its partners. Special guest host Chelsea Handler will also give viewers a sneak peek at the latest experimental tech from the Adobe labs. While the virtual workshops may pale in comparison to the immense networking opportunity the Adobe Summit traditionally provides, here are four ways to get the most out of your Magento Imagine remote experience.
