What is the ELEVATE plan for 2021?
Planning for ELEVATE is a year round activity. With the current uncertainty that still remains for large, in-person events we have opted to not plan for an in-person ELEVATE next fall.
Instead we hope to gather in smaller, in-person TRAININGDAYS events and Lunch-n-Learns on a regional level throughout 2021.
We have been following trends in the events industry and many are seeing success in reinitiating such events where small class/session sizes can be maintained and social distancing procedures can easily adhered to.
We currently have our first TRAININGDAYS event planned for Feb 8 – 10 in Dallas, but we will hold off opening registration for that event until later this year, allowing us to monitor local, state and federal guidelines and recommendations.
WHAT IS TRAININGDAYS?
TRAININGDAYS is an in-person training event for our system users. Locations rotate on a regular basis to bring training to cities closer to our users. Users can register for 1, 2, 3 or 4 days of training and build a personal agenda by picking and choosing from half-day sessions offered for all Command Alkon core solutions.
Our first TRAININGDAYS event for 2021 is planned for Feb 8 – 10 in Dallas, but we will hold off opening registration for that event until later this year, allowing us to monitor local, state, and federal guidelines and recommendations.
TRAININGDAYS are being planned for the spring and fall of 2021 in other locations as well, but we will hold off on announcing registration for these until early 2021 as we monitor and evaluate the situation further.
