This year has been very different so no doubt Factualwest was going to be different too. But despite all the challenges that an annual networking and social event in Covid times faces, it was just really awesome to spend a day online with peers, co-workers, friends and some amazing speakers. It’s good to remind us that we can still be creative, keep pushing to improve our craft and remember what being in this industry is all about. And if you missed it this year, we have you covered. Links to all the great panels and speakers are below for you to binge at your leisure. Cross fingers that all goes well in 2021 and we can all gather in person for the next Factual West!
