Matchbox Virtual Media creates virtual conferences that drive conversations that matter and foster connections that last. Matchbox provides purpose driven organizations strategies to build collaborative networks and leverage the knowledge and experience of their members in order to facilitate progress, education, and awareness.

This is a two-day event from 12:00 – 2:15PM EDT on November 21-22nd. Each session is an hour long and is pre-recorded, with a 15-minute break in between. Pre-recording allows the speakers to spend the entire session period in the attendee chat answering your burning questions. At the same time, you’ll be able to communicate with the other attendees through the same chat. Join in on whichever conversation is most interesting to you!

On October 18th, official registration begins. Once you register, you will enter the event page, where you can immediately start interacting. At the same time, you will be sent an email with the link to return. The event is the finale, but conversations will occur in the platform leading up to it.

This conference exists in the virtual space, as it gives us the opportunity to bring together industry professionals from around the world.

The sessions are pre-recorded so that the speakers can spend the time answering attendee questions. They will be typing furiously to reply to as many questions as possible in the live chat!

This will depend on individual preference of our speakers.

Absolutely! After October 18th, you can immediately start communicating with fellow attendees in our forum. Throughout the sessions, there will also be a chat running simultaneously.

If you register before October 18th, you will be given access to watch the recorded sessions at any point after the event.

Yes, if you are in live attendance.

TAPPI expects event attendees to respect each other and behave in a generally civilized fashion. Members should respect common sense rules for public behavior, personal interaction, common courtesy, and respect for private property. If you wouldn’t do it at home, please do not do it at a TAPPI event. Abusive, harassing, or threatening behavior towards any other attendee or directed at any TAPPI member or partner (even those not present at the conference) will NOT be tolerated. Please report any incidents in which a conference attendee is abusive, insulting, intimidating, bothersome, or act in an unsafe or illegal manner to the conference organizers immediately.
