Description:

Last year we held a session about creating successful hybrid events.  In November, our team planned a multi-city hybrid event for our Awards and AGM.  To discuss this experience and more hybrid events as case studies, we have assembled a panel of experienced hybrid event technicians consisting of production and planning experts.  This group of experts will discuss what they learned from these recent experiences and will be led through a series of questions to provide you with knowledge and valuable insight as you plan your own hybrid events.
