iECHO Connect is our flagship annual virtual conference and the one moment in the year when the whole community comes together around the platform. It is where we share what has been built, what we learned from it and where iECHO is heading next.
What happens
- A walkthrough of the year's new developments, with live demonstrations of the features that matter most to hubs and participants.
- The upcoming iECHO roadmap, explained by the product team, including what we have decided not to build and why.
- Stories from partners who are running programs at scale, in their own words.
- Open question and answer time with the product, design and support teams.
Who it is for
Everyone in the ECHO community. Hub administrators, program managers, subject matter experts, participants and funding partners are all welcome.
What it takes
The conference runs fully online, with sessions scheduled so that partners across time zones can attend live. Recordings and slides are published afterwards for anyone who could not make it.
