Back in 2020, the inaugural Global Excel Summit was intended to be an in-person event. However, the COVID-19 pandemic scuppered our plans, forcing us to defer it to the following year, when we held it virtually. The two subsequent conferences were also held this way to err on the side  of caution.

However, Global Excel Summit 2024 had the luxury of being the first-ever hybrid edition, and the most recent followed suit. See more  details in the 'Global Excel Summit 2025' section below.
