Questions?

The conference will be administered using Circle and delivered using the Zoom platform. Details will be provided for registrants in advance of the conference.

Registration is open to everyone. The content will be most relevant to coaches and organisations with an interest in technology. No technology expertise expected.

Zoom’s chat features will be available throughout and we will be welcoming questions for speakers during the event.

The conference will only be available in English. If you would like to bring along an interpreter for your native language, please contact sam@isaacson.uk.

Purchase of a ticket will grant you access to every session across the full two days, as well as an exclusive discount code that can be used against our new book The Digital & AI Coaches’ Handbook.

Major cards and Paypal are accepted at the registration link above. If this will be a problem, please contact sam@isaacson.uk.

Discounts are available for volume bookings. If this is the case for you, please contact sam@isaacson.uk.

All of the sessions will be recorded and shared with those registered after the event. There will be opportunities to ask questions and interact with other participants thoughout, so we would strongly encourage you to protect both days where this is possible.

Please note that the agenda is correct at the time of publication but is subject to change given the realities of such a large and diverse (and high calibre!) speaker line up. Session times and speaker details may therefore be updated in minor ways in advance of the conference.
