Chime in on Our Virtual Platform!

In light of the virtual experience, ANSI will be offering several features in the “Networking” section of the virtual WSW Event Lobby. In addition to group and session-level chats, participants will have the option to invite other attendees to a video chat —a great opportunity for 1:1 meet-ups or to catch up with a group. Up to 20 people can be brought into any one video chat session.

Also, join in for some fun by listening to ANSI’s specially curated #WorldStandardsWeek playlist of songs selected by ANSI staff. Do you see your favorites on the list?
