The ADA’s annual, in-person meeting has been transformed into a fully digital experience leveraging components of the Wolters Kluwer virtual conference solution offering.
To create a fully immersive experience that delivers the same comprehensive, cutting-edge research and expertise to attendees, Wolters Kluwer delivered a solution that combines streamed presentations as well as prerecorded sessions that attendees can access on any device, at any time throughout the five day event and up to 90 days after the meeting.

Additionally, CME credits can be earned after the conclusion of the event.

We developed a virtual meeting solution in response to the COVID-19 pandemic so societies like the ADA have the opportunity to continue to inform and engage their members and attendees in a new digital format.”
