RTE2022 PROGRAM
SAN FRANCISCO + ONLINE

This year’s event proved to be a one-of-a-kind experience bringing together today's innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders in the world of Real-Time Engagement (RTE).
After gathering virtually for the past three years, we were excited to connect in person once again, at City View at Metreon, in the heart of downtown San Francisco.
The community shared and explored new developments in the tech and engagement space for an evening full of interactive activities, speakers, demos, and more. It was all business—and then all fun—featuring keynote presentations, awards, hands-on demos, networking, live entertainment, karaoke, and refreshments!
The program included:
- Product Technology Keynote (Live & Online)
- Startup Battleground Awards Ceremony (Live & Online)
- “RTE Wonderland” Sponsor Demo & Expo
- Live Karaoke Competition
- Networking Cocktail Hour featuring the Agora “API” cocktail and Live DJ entertainment – held on the 4th-floor terrace overlooking the San Francisco skyline
