"We are excited to be able to use Elluminate to blend our face-to-face and virtual event options together in a way that makes virtual attendees true participants in conferences and workshops. Elluminate enables us to open learning experiences to those who cannot attend an on-ground workshop or conference due to budget or travel restriction. We are particularly excited about this year's event in Arizona during which a panel of European experts discuss emerging technologies via Elluminate."
- John Bourne, Executive Director, Sloan-C
"During the 4 years we've been using Elluminate, we've been able to increase our reach to more online educators, both nationally and internationally, with more top-of-mind topics. The number of workshops we offer has increased from 1 to over 32 annually, and we've delivered them to over 4,000 professionals."
- Keith Bourne, Chief Operations Officer, Sloan-C

For organizations like Sloan-C, who have a community of widely dispersed members for whom they want to provide ongoing education and collaboration opportunities, Elluminate Live! delivers the reliability, functionality, and quality of experience they need."
