C2 Montreal 2020 | Virtual Edition Featuring Jane Fonda
From REINVENTION to RESILIENCE: Introducing C2 Montreal virtual edition featuring Jane Fonda and other brainy gems!
Since 2012, the conference has always stood apart as a preeminent business conference that transcends others through the well curated combination of tier-1 guest speakers and unique interactive experiences designed to engage people past their comfort zones. The brainchild of Sid Lee and Cirque de Soleil, the 3 day conference draws an eclectic ménage of attendees from all over the world. That is what C2MTL used to be pre-pandemic.
For its 8th edition, C2 Montreal has adapted to this new world order by transitioning to being a remote on-line event. This raises an interesting question; how does an event founded in human interactive experiences provide that experience without the human interaction?
Foregoing its usual intense 3-day format, C2MTL is now a fully digital online event taking place from October 19th to the 30th. Over the next 2 weeks celebrities, influencers and thought leaders from all ranges of industries and interests will focus their knowledge and wisdom on the theme of RESILIENCE. An immensely relevant topic for 2020, given the current state of the world. We can all agree if 2020 has demanded anything from us, from business, from politics, from life, it is resilience to persevere. Resilience also has an ironic tone for the event itself as the conference navigates its shift to an online format.
