RealFocus will adhere to all city and state regulations that are in place at the time of the event. Please see the above FAQ for an up-to-date list of our safety protocols.

We’ve taken steps to ease back into in-person events with more spacing between seats and large meeting areas with plenty of space. That said, tickets are limited this year and tend to sell out quickly – make sure you save your spot in advance!

We’re working on making RealFocus content accessible to folks unable to attend in-person, or who prefer to access sessions on-demand. Stay tuned here for more updates!

Checkmark Awards are officially open for nominations! See the link above on this page to submit your nominations before September 3rd. Nominees will be announced in advance, and winners will be announced in person at RealFocus.
