Why Lightboarding is King? 👑

Lightboardings are condensed yet easy to digest and very visual. Instead of endless PowerPoint slides you’ll hear a well-crafted story about technology and watch it come to life on the Lightboard. It’s an experience that’s hard to forget and a training that’s easy to remember.

Because of this, Lightboardings have been a crowd magnet. Since their 2020 launch they have attracted over 3000 enterprise IT professionals from more than 50 countries. Attendees have generously rated the sessions 9.5/10 and reported gaining a whopping 2-points knowledge on a 10-point scale in just 45-minutes!
