SANTA CLARA, California, Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ: API), a real-time engagement (RTE) platform-as-a-service provider, today announced the speaker schedule and program for its premier virtual conference RTE2020 on October 13-14, 2020. The lineup for the free conference, themed around Building the Future of Real-Time Engagement - Together, is now available at rte2020.agora.io.

Programming on Oct. 13 will focus on What's Trending topics, including speeches and panels about opportunities for product and developer teams to bring people closer together worldwide.

We look forward to collaborating with all our speakers and attendees on the future of virtual, real-time engagement."

The afterparty, hosted on Virbela's platform, will allow guests to create customized avatars and socialize in a dynamic metaverse complete with drinks and dancing.
