CNBC has announced a robust line-up of new and returning events to take place in Fall 2020, with the majority of conferences now being conducted virtually.
CNBC has quickly pivoted to bring its sought after, news-making events directly to users’ homes with its busiest Fall line-up yet. Each event will utilise CNBC’s all-star roster of anchors and reporters to lead high-level discussions on critical issues through one-on-one interviews and panel sessions with top executives, policy makers and entrepreneurs.
“By capitalising on the immediacy and connection that virtual platforms provide, we have been able to ramp up our Fall offerings like never before,” said Nick Dunn, Managing Director and Executive Editor of CNBC Events.
“The value CNBC creates for our audiences, speakers and sponsors throughout each event is unmatched in this new environment and we look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional content across the board.”
