Announcement: We've joined forces with the brilliant Neon Moiré

It all started with a poll we ran with 100 event organisers. We discovered that 70% felt that audience networking and engagement are their biggest challenges for 2021 - so we decided to do something about it.

We've joined forces with the brilliant Neon Moiré to start a monthly discussion for our events community, to share our collective learnings from the zoomrevolution and to uncover the opportunities that are ahead for us all. We’re also going to bring in experts from outside of our industry to give their take.

Given the outcome of our poll, the first topic of discussion is:

So you built a virtual community in 2020 - now what?
How do you combine the irreplaceable value of in-person with the amazing reach and insights provided by virtual?

Our monthly deep-dives are planned to be intimate and interactive, an opportunity for our global community to meet and share insights.

Date: 23rd February 2021
Time: 8 pm Amsterdam / 3 pm New York

SPEAKERS

To help us discover the opportunities, we’ve invited 3 leaders in their fields to help us understand the human need to connect, and how to leverage that in the virtual realm in 2021.

Adah Parris is a polymath: she’s an artist, futurist, and cultural strategist. For her curation of people, patterns and stories, she has been recognised as one of the UK’s Top 100 Black and Minority Ethnic Leaders in Technology and was nominated by Google for TED‘s Global Emerging Innovators list.

Alex Bec and the co-owner of It’s Nice That, a leading online platform that celebrates creativity with over 2 million readers per month.
