What to expect
Get your virtual shoes ready for an Activate adventure all around!
In addition to the curated content, we have special all-day experiences planned out for you including a rockin’ DJ who will be spinning tracks on the rooftop. No worries if you have two left feet, our virtual avatars never miss a beat.
If music isn’t your jam, make your way over to the experience rooms for a peaceful guided breathwork session and a massage therapy workshop. Say “aloha” to other conference attendees on your way there using the voice feature. To make the experience even better, we recommend you wear headphones or earbuds with a microphone.
Finally, stop by the Partner Pavilion for a chance to earn entries into our Peloton raffle! We’re helping you count your steps beyond the virtual screen.
