Speaking slot from the sofa...

The events industry has always been fast paced and constantly changing but surely not more so than during recent events (you know, just that covid 19 thing). Overnight, event managers either came to a standstill or went full steam ahead into a virtual world. I was the latter. I do love a challenge. It was a steep learning curve but I can't help looking at the positives virtual events have given us. So I had a sofa chat with Live Union during one of their Virtual Interesting events to talk about it, and how Arm (my client at the time) had switched everything to virtual!

So, I did a podcast...

Inside the Bradfield Centre invited me as a guest speaker to chat about one of my favourite subjects...yep, you guessed it, events!

We talked about how the current global situation (Covid-19) has and will continue to impact the events industry. More importantly though, both Faye (my partner in crime for the purpose of the podcast) and I got super passionate about how we can still create incredible event experiences in the virtual world.

There's actually some incredible opportunities and ways to completely transform those events you've always done 'just because' or even to go wild with exciting ideas to create something brand spanking new.

First time I have ever done anything like this but I really enjoyed it. So, I hope that others enjoy it, and that it helps other event managers in these crazy times, even if it's just to reaffirm what you already know, that's nice sometimes isn't it?
