Best Practices to Minimize Event Disruptions in a Virtual World
The last several months have been very interesting for all of us. In today’s virtual world, we are fortunate that people are forgiving and accustomed to hearing a dog bark or seeing a child walk by – the line between work and home has naturally become blurred. But through it all, it is admirable how we as a community have pivoted to virtual events and it is incredible what we have learned and continue to learn.
In this podcast, host Jennifer Squeglia, a member of the FICP Board of Directors, is joined by two professionals who are great talents in the events industry who will share their wisdom and best practices as we evolve in this new events environment.
Panelists include:
Karin Ponte, CMP, Senior Meeting Planner, Liberty Mutual
