Join Jen Squeglia, CMP, FICP Board Member, as she brings together our Meetings Professionals members and Hospitality Partners to moderate a discussion about the future of meetings. During this discussion, we will be focusing on technology, virtual events and their role in our industry over the past year. We’ll also discuss hybrid events and how virtual/hybrid events will be positioned as part of our overall event strategies complementing in-person events moving forward. Topics include: - What are our virtual event best practices? - What virtual platforms/technologies are you using and for what type of events? - What have you seen from an engagement and networking perspective that is new and different? - How do you see virtual events remaining as part of your event strategy moving forward? - Is hybrid a consideration to facilitate social distancing and/or to accommodate attendees who are not yet comfortable travelling? - Budgeting and Communication Best Practices for virtual, hybrid and in-person - How our hospitality partners support: - Virtual Site visits / planning visits - share tips on how to do this successfully - In-house AV teams offering equipment / robust internet connectivity for hybrid meetings - DMCs / production companies and their amazing support of virtual events, inclusive of gifting logistics and ideas - Keynote speakers and Entertainment presenting virtually – several have made an amazing pivot and reaching a larger audience!
