**The first Claris Engage** , a successor of FileMaker DevCons, was originally planned to take place in Nashville, Tennessee. The coronavirus pandemic has changed plans for most live events this year, and so Claris Engage **turned to a virtual experience**. **We attended, and** even **participated as a virtual exhibitor** , and **it surpassed all our expectations**. So let us [share our highlights of the conference](https://24usw.com/enfms) with you.

All conference **sessions** were available **through WebEx** upon **free registration** at Claris Community. This online format and free admission allowed developers to **attend from anywhere** around the world. The only constraint for us was that it was taking place at **night our time** , so it was like a **second work shift** for us.

**We even had a virtual booth** there, thanks to AutoEnter.live, and **I was there most of the time** , thanks to my third screen, my iPad, discussing **hardware integrations** , especially IoT, barcode scanners, and RFID.

To get the most out of our participation in Claris Engage 2020, each of **our developers** has **prepared a demo or example going deeper** into one of the topics presented in the conference sessions.
