Virtual Event: Pre-Game Plunge - Learn & Network
Let's talk about AI & digital transformation! The Pre-Game Plunge - Learn & Network interactive virtual session on Zoom and the RingCentral Events platform offers dedicated time for learning, questions, networking, and meaningful connections—setting the stage for a dynamic conference experience.
There will be two sessions, each with two guests. After the talks, we will move to the RingCentral Events platform for networking and conference prep. The same networking activities will be used at both sessions, so you are welcome to attend only one or both of them.
