It ’ s not just Fast Forward 15 who are interacting with community . At Conference News , we have a line-up of sessions for International Confex that aim to recognise and support the industry , from technology and community , to awards and editor insight .
The CN Big Tech Review

CN30 community
Being named a CN30underThirty doesn ’ t mean you just win an award , it means you are part of a lifelong community of young , talented eventprofs . For each of our cohorts , we create a year-long programme , providing you opportunities to not only work with each other , but also get involved with Conference News , whether that ’ s through roundtables , events , or interviews .
