COVERING CONTENT YOU CAN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT
Reality Check: Prices in 2023!
Planners in every sector of our industry know what a challenge pricing has been in 2023 so I’m super excited to be able to put together a panel on pricing. In true techsytalk fashion, we’ll dish on the real challenges planners are facing and, most importantly, what advice we have for you to navigate an inflated world for your clients or team! Join Heather Mason, Annette Naif and Jaclyn Bernstein for a powerhouse panel of women sharing what you need to know about pricing in 2023!
Immersion: Encouraging In-Person Attendees to be Present
We are tapping the brain of the uber talented Adam Aleksander to talk about creating immersive event experience from a design perspective so that your attendees are present and engaged. It’s hard to expect brand connection if your attendees are bored and checked out and Adam is the master of taking a person’s breath away and keeping their attention.
HYBRID: Yes, We're Still Talking About It
It’s no surprise that we believe hybrid is here to stay, but we’ve seen many brands PIVOT BACK (Dare we say it?) to in-person only, leaving all the benefits of virtual behind. But why? And why should you be advocating for hybrid events right now?! We’re going to cover it all in this session with lots of takeaways for you to bring back to your team.
More Topics TBA!
