About GOTOpia Chicago 2021
The GOTOpia conference format was created in March 2020 to make sure our community could continue learning from the brightest minds in tech remotely. Our goal has been to redefine what it means to hold an online conference, and over a series of GOTOpias throughout 2020, we landed on the most effective and engaging way to bring GOTO into the new state of the world. GOTOpia conferences are everything you love about GOTO, all delivered online.
Here’s a snapshot of how past GOTOpia attendees feel about these conferences:
- 96% of attendees said they would attend another GOTOpia
- 95% said the event either met or exceeded their expectations
- Speakers, keynotes, breakout talks, networking sessions and the overall experience all received an average of more than 4 out 5
In 2021 our aim is to raise the bar even further...
What past attendees thought
GOTOpia is an online conference like no other. But don't take our word for it, here's what past attendees have said:
"A great example of a virtual conference that actually felt like a conference, with interaction with real people – not just a bunch of webinars to watch. Kudos to the GOTO team."
Robin Moffatt, senior developer advocate at Confluent
"The combination of topics, sessions and speakers is really great. It is the essence of GOTO in an online format!"
Michael Repplinger, team leader at Dillinger
