During CSF 2021, Nextech’s event production team will be on hand to manage all main stage video content as well as to coordinate subsequent breakout sessions, offering guests a professionally produced, high-quality video streaming experience, the company said.

“Our delegates will be engaged in the education sessions via the visually stunning virtual rooms and easy to navigate user platform. Our sponsors and exhibitors will be able to showcase their products and recent research and development via the augmented reality features of the platform. The CSF is delighted to be working with Nextech to design a virtual experience that engages all our event stakeholders to share research and advance advocacy efforts for the Canadian surgical community," she added.
