Is Web Con 2024 being offered virtually, in person, or hybrid?
Web Con 2024 sessions take place virtually on the Zoom Events platform. This means all speakers for all conference sessions occur on Zoom, and all attendees need to be on a device to participate.
We are hosting a free in-person social meet-up that is free for conference registrants at the Gallery Art Bar in Urbana, Illinois. A local vendor is catering the event.
