The news of GSX and ISC West going virtual was no surprise, but a lack on in-person meetings will mean more time to devote to a wide variety of educational topics offered virtually by both shows. Here is a small sampling of some of the integrator-relevant virtual training sessions that caught our eye at the two upcoming virtual trade shows:
