With the events industry in a state of transition from virtual back to in-person, there are a lot of questions around what is required to make this leap back to in-person.
Virtual event technology is here to stay, and the events industry is looking forward to bringing back in-person events. The dilemma that a lot of organizations face is the transition to Hybrid – what is involved and what the benefits are.
Our panel features experienced event professionals who have years of experience in both virtual and in-person events. They bring with them a wealth of knowledge on what works in a virtual, hybrid or in-person world.
