If you are a business wondering what live events are going to be like, or maybe what a truly successful hybrid event is like, then you are in the right place!
The discussion, moderated by CEMA’s Executive Director, Kimberley Gishler, is titled Back to Live Events and features 4 industry leaders who give their perspectives on what the road back to live events look like. And one of the speakers, Mary Allen, is the event manager for the first large conference held at Caesars Forum back in mid-April called the Trauma, Critical Care & Acute Surgery Conference. She shares her experience of what it was like to hold a large hybrid conference. No, whether you are an exhibitor, sponsor, association, or show organizer, you do not want to miss this!
Along with Mary Allen, the other people on this panel are:
· Rachel Andrews, Director of Meetings & Events, Marketing, Cvent, will be taking us on her journey through planning a 2,000-attendee event amidst the ongoing pandemic uncertainty.
· And Caesars Entertainment’s Michael Massari, Chief Sales Officer, and Don Ross, Vice President of Meeting Operations Las Vegas, give the venue perspective – how they are ensuring that the most current protocols for attendee safety are in place and how they deliver the amazing experiences we have all come to expect.
· The panel also shares insights on industry trends. So many great takeaways!
