In this season of gratitude, the Virtual team extends a heartfelt thank you to our amazing clients. We are privileged to be their partners in progress, supporting them as they make their mark on the world. Many of the people that we work with in these organizations are volunteers who work tirelessly to advocate for their organizations. We acknowledge you and share your dedication and passion in ways that deliver impact to humanity.

‍

Our clients are champions in addressing important societal issues like eating disorders, gerontological care, behavior therapy, medical technology innovations, cancer treatment, and reproductive health. They are improving lives and exploring what’s possible in their fields. For instance, the Society for the Study of Reproduction is participating in a research project with SpaceX, studying the effects of microgravity on reproductive health during a Falcon 9 flight to the International Space Station. Members of the American Brachytherapy Society are focusing on the use of advanced personalized techniques in interventional radiation oncology to make a difference in the fight against cancer.

A special salute to our professional society clients, advocating for their members in diverse areas like insurance compliance, investment sales management, noise control engineering, shotcrete construction, sports law, and more. They continue to deliver value by providing critical resources and career opportunities to help their members succeed. In 2023 alone, Virtual has planned and executed more than 80 conferences and member meetings for education, networking, and to facilitate collaboration on standards, strategies, and best practices.

Virtual is also honored to partner with industry associations that are driving technological innovation. Whether it’s advancing automotive edge computing, facilitating seamless electronic transactions, exploring high-altitude platform technology, or fortifying software and payment security, these associations are pioneers in progress. At a United Nations meeting on financially inclusive payments, Mojaloop received recognition from Bill Gates for its open-source software that brings affordable, connected digital financial services to anyone with access to a mobile phone. AOMedia’s AV1 Hardware decoder is transforming how we experience video on our mobile devices, streaming higher-quality video and media using less data. Powered by technology supported by the HAPS Alliance, unmanned aircraft or balloons in the stratosphere are playing a crucial role in early wildfire detection and methane emissions, safeguarding millions of people. These are just a few examples of the impact our clients’ advancements are making on everyday lives.

To our clients, thank you for making our work exciting and meaningful. We appreciate your trust as you change the world for the better.
