2024 Convention 1

DESCRIPTION

As professionals we find ourselves responsible for events of all sizes. The annual banquet is an event, for sure, but so too is the Board of Directors’ meeting or the registration desk at the next education seminar.  Attend this session to discuss, listen, and share about events of all kinds and ways to lift them up and make them REMARKABLE.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn how to think and create micro events differently.
2. Learn how thinking differently and applying these new skills can influence the culture of your organization.
3. Evaluate your event through a memorable lens.
