The SCCC 2020 is a virtual conference platform like none-other that allows attendees to engage with speakers through an intriguing setup that simulates a physical event, with high-energy crowd engagement activities. Because of these features, it is easier to significantly suppress the challenges of having a virtual event to bring the best experience possible to viewers.

As part of its goal to upskill the creative industry in Malaysia, SCCC 2020 provided complementary entries for students, giving grasp to the fact that not every student is able to bear the cost of the tickets during these trying times.
“The whole reason behind this event is for students to strive and explore their passion and skills in the creative industry. With that being in mind, we understand that bearing the cost of tickets can be burdensome to students, which is why we wanted to lift that burden off for students from all walks of life to participate for free,” Natalie Sit added.
