This webinar originally took place January 25, 2023.
Are you using event technology in the same way you planned to a year ago? Keeping up with today's tech marketplace is a daunting task. Two years ago it seemed every high-profile event professional would wind up working for a tech supplier, and we wrote about a few who made the jump. Much has changed since then.
Join us for this live, interactive webinar, in which event prof superstars Julius Solaris, Nick Borelli and Anh Nguyen share their insights on the current marketplace, fueled by their perspectives of having worked as both buyers and tech suppliers. We'll address how the market is evolving, how that might influence your choice of technology and partners, and which next big things might come to pass.
Check out the original article about event professionals joining the "dark side" as we discuss how perspectives have shifted.
