We understand that the sheer scale of SIBCON can be overwhelming. To circumvent this, we are delighted to offer SIBCON Communities, which are free to be part of. Smaller groups of people will convene for discussion-oriented roundtables to initiate focused networking in a more intimate setting.

Participants will have access to the full SIBCON attendee list, can source meetings and visit the virtual booths.

Attendance at the roundtables is free, but this does not give access to the main conference. Please register separately if you wish to attend the main conference.
