In return to Disney World, Ragan hopes to recapture magic of in-person learning
In its first in-person conference in over a year, Ragan will bring together top innovators and leaders on social media strategy to define the current state of affairs for comms pros.
The Ragan conference team was at Walt Disney World when the world changed.
It was March 11, 2020, the night before the first of two jam-packed days of sessions for Ragan’s annual Social Media conference in Orlando, Florida, and everyone was grabbing a meal before hitting their pillows ahead of what would be a busy day the next morning. That’s when the NBA announced it was postponing its season due to the COVID-19 virus and events began to move very quickly.
Disney World would close its gates later that weekend. Ragan hasn’t had an in-person conference since.
Now, after months of working from home, reinventing conference products for virtual environments and hours and hours of video calls, the Ragan Disney Social Media Conference is headed back to Disney World Sept. 9-10.
“Going back to Disney World for our first in-person conference since March 2020 is like the opening act of a new show for us,” says Ragan CEO Diane Schwartz. “We’re not going ‘back’ to the way things were, but we are returning to one of our most coveted conferences … and giving our attendees an incredible learning and networking experience.”
