Introduction
Who We Are
VC APAX is a free online conference focusing on women and minority entrepreneurs.
Following the warm welcome we received for both VC LatinX and VC EuropeX Conferences, it's time we set our eyes on the next event. APAX brings together people from all over Asia and the communities connected by the Pacific Ocean along with its Islands, who share a vision of social inclusion and are passionate about entrepreneurship. Together, folks from this part of the world will share the latest and greatest on business, health, and wellness in support of start-ups, entrepreneurs, and small-to-midsized business owners who will be joining us from all over the world.

Networking
Networking Opportunities
Our conference is structured with networking in mind. We have a combination of round tables, speaker interaction, and an exhibition area - where one can take advantage of technology to meet and interact with many experts.
We have two moderated networking tables and two non-moderated spaces for people to meet & greet.
Exhibit Hall
Exhibitors & Institutional Partners' Space
The Exhibit Hall houses booths featuring our sponsor and institutional partners. In this virtual exhibition hall, one can find staffed booths, company representatives, product information, as well as service availability.
Take this opportunity to meet professionals from all over the world, and get to know their offerings.
We also have a scheduling feature, so you can make appointments - and return at a time that is most convenient to you, so no opportunity is ever missed.
Auditorium
Meeting Space
The Auditorium is where our meeting takes place and it holds our Agenda. There is a tab for each of the 4 days, and the corresponding presenters, split by presentation time slot.
BEFORE the conference you can visit the Auditorium, go through the agenda and use the "Remind Me" function - the system will send you a reminder of your preferred session on your own time zone.
DURING the conference and immediately before each session, the button turns to "Join" - so you are able to join a session at the start of the presentation, or anytime during the session.
AFTER the conference after each day, the "Remind Me" button turns to "Play" - this allows you to come back at any time and watch the video recording of that presentation.
