Ignite Innovation | A Virtual Reality Experience
In line with FGIA’s conference theme, “Ignite Innovation,” FGIA will be offering a new virtual reality (VR) experience for all conference participants. Take the opportunity to try a VR headset and choose from three different experiences: Mission: ISS, which will transport users to space on board the International Space Station; TriptoVR, which allows participants to see different places from Cape Town to Tokyo as if they are there in person; and Golf+ West Coast Swing, with which users can compete at Torrey Pines South Course overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Two VR headsets will be available in a designated area near the registration desk for participants to use at any time during the conference.

Networking Receptions
In addition to the Annual Awards Ceremony and Reception Tuesday night, there are many other networking breaks built into the conference schedule. On Monday, a welcome reception will be held on the upper pool deck outside from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. There will also be coffee breaks in the conference area on Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 to 10 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. On Wednesday evening, the conference’s closing reception will be held on the garden terrace outdoors from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

“Meals at FGIA conference are also a simple way to get to know fellow industry professionals,” said Vlad. “Members have told FGIA that even brief hallway conversations are also a simple but organic and effective way to connect with customers and industry experts.”
