With a mission to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information to mental health professionals, social workers, clinic workers, educational professionals, and the public, ADAA has hosted annual conferences to share the latest findings on research, practice, and education.  ## The Challenge of Hosting a Conference During COVID-19 Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, hosting a conference was not in the foreseeable future. Events around the world came to a halt, causing many enterprises to look for an alternative solution to in-person events, such as a virtual event. Needless to say, ADAA’s team had to pivot sharply and quickly while facing a virtual event learning curve. Another challenge ADAA would face while hosting a conference during COVID-19 was keeping the attendee experience as a top priority. ADAA began to research for a [virtual event platform](https://www.6connex.com/features/) that was capable of delivering quality content, a polished brand experience, and numerous opportunities for their community to connect. Their virtual event goals truly focused on education and engagement. Though pursuing a virtual event seemed like the logical choice, the idea of virtual event platforms seemed nerve-racking for ADAA event organizers, as they wanted to keep their mission top of mind. While bringing mental health professionals together for high-level, evidence-based education had always been conducted in-person, ADAA knew they had to find a trustworthy platform for virtual events to provide that same sense of community virtually.  Keeping attendees engaged from behind a computer screen was a challenge for many event marketers, and ADAA was no exception. They knew they had to dedicate meaningful time to an [attendee engagement strategy](https://info.6connex.com/blog/adapting-your-marketing-strategy-to-the-reality-of-virtual-events?hsLang=en), especially during a time where people felt isolated and disconnected from their communities.
