Many of you will have already seen the program for the upcoming Gilbane Conference, which is organized into four tracks. But with 38 conference sessions and workshops, 90 107 speakers, and the variety of overlapping and related topics associated with content, marketing, and digital experience, it can be challenge choosing which sessions to attend. So in addition to our formal tracks, which are the best place to start, below we have created some informal suggestions for “virtual tracks” based on specific topics. These are meant to help you create your own custom program, but you will still need to check the conference schedule to make sure individual sessions don’t conflict.

Note that the Keynote sessions are not included below since they touch on a wide range of topics and are designed for all attendees.
