Update: Keeping Up with Changes
TCEA has made the difficult decision to take the 2021 TCEA Convention & Exposition fully virtual. After careful consideration with TCEA’s partners at the City of Dallas and the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, it is clear that ongoing COVID-19 safety measures require us to find new ways to deliver the powerful insights and connections you expect from this event.
The live experience will begin February 1-6, 2021 with more customizable ways to learn throughout the month. Self-paced content will be available through March 5, 2021, and you’ll receive access to IDEAcon February 22-24 with live content between both engaging experiences.
