This event took place Sept. 15, 2021.
Event technology thought leaders discussed lessons learned over the past 18 months and the trends they see shaping our industry’s future tech.
The pandemic caused us to rethink the way we communicate and gather, and some brilliant innovation resulted in the meetings technology space. Some we adopted out of necessity; now, we’re at a watershed moment as to how we move forward.
Here we look closely at the technology we’ve embraced over the last 18 months and examine which uses have worked and which have failed. More importantly, what benefits can we retain as we move into what will hopefully be a post-pandemic phase? And how can we address the challenges of moving now to a hybrid format that combines the best of in-person and virtual events?
Watch this wide-ranging and thought-provoking discussion with some of the best-known thought leaders in the event technology space, as we address these successes and failures, next steps and predictions.
