Overview

From September 1 - 17, 2020, BAO Systems hosted its 6th Annual DHIS2 Symposium. In light of the COVID-19 turmoil and with the health and well-being of the DHIS2 Community in mind, the Symposium was hosted virtually for the first time. We leveraged webinar streaming tools and developed our own DHIS2 Symposium application in collaboration with Cvent that hosts all the insightful content provided by this year’s speakers. The online format allowed an even broader audience to attend than ever before, and enabled us to spark conversation with a more diverse crowd.

The DHIS2 Symposium 2020 program spanned three calendar weeks and included over 50 hours of content for attendees to consume. The program featured plenary and breakout sessions, panel sessions, the Experts Lounge, optional DHIS2 training, as well as interactive sessions, Kahoot, and live polling. With 69 speakers, 8 sponsors, and 266 unique participants, this was our largest and most comprehensive DHIS2 Symposium to date.
