SPEAKER: Tonya Almond, CMP, PCMA VP of Experience Design
Your hybrid event platform is just great technology, right? Wrong. Partnering with your platform provider is the biggest opportunity for event managers in 2021. Engagement, attendance, registration, sponsorships, and even your event budget – can all be influenced by the selection of the right (or wrong) hybrid event platform. What’s important? What’s not? Join PCMA’s VP of Experience Design, Tonya Almond, and Juno’s Founder & CEO, Josh Hotsenpiller, for an in-depth conversation about how your hybrid event platform can make or break your annual event. Especially when the world is watching.

SPEAKER: Heather Mason, CEO of Caspian Agency
In 2021 all events will be optional. How do you determine the value of your event and prioritize one option over another? Join the CEO of Caspian Agency, Heather Mason, as she explains how to evaluate, strategize, and measure hybrid events to ensure financial success. Using Convening Leaders 2021 as her example, Heather outlines the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that will determine the event’s success, and how strategic decisions were made using data. With this framework, you don’t have to ask for a seat at the leadership table. You can bring your own damn chair! Because you’re not just producing an event, you’re delivering tangible value for your organization.
