Last week, DIG SOUTH Virtual Tech Summit brought together the best in emerging tech, business, and digital marketing. DIG SOUTH Virtual Tech Summit is an interactive experience powered by DIG SOUTH, a membership-based tech media company headquartered in Charleston, SC. The Summit connected DIG NATION members and other attendees to leading global brands and national tech execs, entrepreneurs, founders, investors, and other forward-focused experts.
We are four months into quarantine, and one of the many things that has changed in our new virtual lives is that events can no longer happen in person. Here at cred, we’ve been closely involved as the events industry has figured out the shift to virtual.
When live events do return, we do not see virtual going away. Virtual events are here to stay and the experience will only continue to improve as virtual event technology is enhanced and event planners, speakers, and attendees become more virtually savvy. This post will focus on the benefits we’ve seen from a speaking perspective.
Change is life’s only certainty. This old adage rings more true in today’s times than ever before. And here at cred, we’ve been working hard to not only track these changes but also provide our partners and followers with the best strategies to tackle.
Our CEO, Caitlin provided some great insights into the conference industry in a blog post in May. Two months later, we’re sharing the latest finds based on our State of Events Survey, distributed to our community of 7,000+ leaders in communications, conference planning, and event marketing.
While summer is typically full of barbecues, warm weather, and vacations, the summer of 2020 is full of social distancing, wearing masks...and virtual events.
The Next Web (TNW) puts on one of the biggest and best tech festivals in the world, but after postponing their annual event this year due to COVID (which has since moved it online), The team got creative with how to reach the international tech community this summer from the comfort of their couch.
Considered a favorite event among the credTeam, the DIG South Tech Summit is one that can’t be missed. Typically held in Charleston, South Carolina, this event brings together entrepreneurs to discuss the future of tech in the South. But due to the coronavirus, this year’s event is going virtual, allowing for even more attendees across the country to hear about the emerging tech trends, business growth strategies, and innovative digital marketing tactics.

In a guest post from The GOOD Fest, Laura Kate Whitney discusses how to navigate through this Great Pause and ways to check in with yourself as you look to the next chapter.
I don’t need to exhaust the many ways our professional lives have been turned upside down. We’re all living this nightmare together. What I do want to share is rather personal. I’ve been thinking quite a lot about what it really means to be busy during this Great Pause. I’ve been utilizing this forced quiet to go inward and evaluate my attachment to busyness. As a business owner, I’ve always led with an informed heart, and the lessons I’ve learned in the first half of this year alone are sure to pave the way for my company’s next chapter.
If this is the only list I keep from the year 2020, so be it.
Summer events season is in full swing and while live events are currently on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic, event organizers are still working behind the scenes to bring the conference experience to your computer screen. Web Summit’s Collision Conference successfully pivoted its in-person event to a first-time virtual experience called Collision from Home—all in just three short months!
In mid-March, when it became clear that live events were no longer happening due to the COVID-19 outbreak, event organizers had to think fast. SaaStock buckled up and decided to host their event virtually—a tall order, to switch gears from live to virtual in less than three months, but they did so graciously.
They felt that speaking to the SaaS community and staying connected in an accessible and safe environment was more important than ever, and brought the community together virtually.
