Description

Amanda starts off by explaining to Darryl that the show is being recorded virtually, which he eventually comes to understand. Then they go on to talk about how the industry is pivoting to virtual meetings. What are the differences and how should planners take on virtual events? Plus an interview with Heather S. on how she took her client’s event virtual and what she’s learned from the process. 

NOTE: We apologize for the audio quality during this show as we work out some of the technical challenges in recording remotely. 

Take-Aways:

1. Understand what works well in a virtual setting and what doesn’t but don’t be afraid to disrupt.
2. Come prepared with a full list of questions for any vendor you speak with. Including how you can keep sponsorships and create new opportunities to feature your partners.
3. Make sure your speakers are comfortable with the format. Test. test. test.
4. Quality is key.
5. Save everything
