# [IIT Real Time Communications 2020: WebRTC Track Talks – WebRTC.ventures](https://blog.webrtc.ventures/2020/12/iit-rtc-conference-2020-webrtc-track-talks)

For the second year running, our CEO and Founder, Arin Sime, curated the WebRTC track of the [Real Time Communications Conference](http://www.rtc-conference.com/2020/) at the Illinois Institute of Technology. We were also proud to be a sponsor. The IIT RTC annual conference is a globally recognized collaborative event where industry and academia connect. It brings together software developers, network engineers, entrepreneurs, business executives, students, and academic educators and researchers to promote an open exchange of ideas to lead future development in the rapidly changing field of real-time communications. Over the years, the WebRTC.ventures team have been IIT Real Time Communications Conference attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and hackathon winners.

Since it is 2020, the conference was of course virtual. [HopIn](https://hopin.to) was chosen as the online platform and it worked extremely well in engaging speakers and participants in a mix of talks, panels, and large- and small group discussions, using the methods that Real Time Communications provide. (You can read Arin’s take on Virtual Conferences and Networking in the Pandemic [here](https://webrtc.ventures/2020/09/virtual-conferences-and-networking-in-the-pandemic/).)

The silver lining to not being able to attend in person this year was that the conference was free! Without the expense and burden of travel, even more people were able to speak and to attend. Overall, it was another great conference and example that [virtual events in the pandemic](https://webrtc.ventures/2020/07/virtual-events-in-2020/) don’t have to be bad!

In this post, we’re including video from each of the 2020 WebRTC track talks. We appreciate IIT (and the conference sponsors) for the financial support that allows these sessions to be recorded. You can [view all the recordings from the conference on the IIT playlist here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpKNVpFmUKiNi-zBeUsKT6QgxJuNpPRMO).
