Elevate 2020 Report

Well, this year's conference was definitely different.  As a result of COVID Elevate 2020 was entirely online.  As a result, no breakfasts, lunches, evening events, happy hour, etc. so they won't be part of the review this year.

Summary

I thought it went quite well, particularly given it was Appeon's first attempt at doing an entirely online conference.
