Interactive workshops, special events, and networking

Just because the Acronis Global Cyber Summit is virtual this year, doesn’t mean it’s a lecture. We’ve packed the 2020 Summit with events designed to give attendees the chance to participate and create unforgettable experiences along the way.

Our engaging workshop series enable attendees to make their voice heard, discussing the state of modern IT with world leaders to get the answers they’re looking for or provide answers to their peers.

In our IT Channel Lounge and Developer Hub, attendees can expand this opportunity even further – connecting with peers and experts from around the world for an in-depth dialogue about modern challenges, solutions, and more. It’s never been easier to expand your network within the global cyber protection community.

Interested in getting out of your daily routine a bit? This year’s Summit includes thrilling opportunities to journey to a world-famous chef’s kitchen, an acclaimed Italian winery, a historic Swiss watchmaker, and the Arsenal F.C. pitch – all from the comfort of your own home office. And for attendees looking to take away something truly memorable from this year’s Summit – while giving back to the world, at the same time – the Acronis Cyber Foundation is hosting its second annual charity auction with the help of Red Sox legend, Pedro Martinez. Bid on amazing items and once-in-a-lifetime event packages and 100% of your donation will go toward providing an education to children who otherwise wouldn’t be able to access it.
