As the landscape of events changed dramatically in 2020, many eyes turned to virtual events. This is not a new idea, with several outlets doing events in 2019 and earlier. While it is impossible to recreate the experience of attending a live event in person, there appears to be a place in the events’ ecosystem for online events. So, what are the best ways to participate in virtual events? How can they succeed or fail in getting your messaging across? Is there value to doing your own virtual event? Join us for a “virtual” discussion by industry leaders who are wading into this realm of virtual events and benefit from their observations as they outline their successes and warn of pitfalls.

Although it seems the world is on hold during the pandemic, many industries continue to operate to deploy and maintain the infrastructure we rely on: equipment and supplies for hospitals, networks for mobile phone and Zoom connections, RF/microwave systems supporting the military. Despite the disruption, how are companies managing their manufacturing operations and supply chains, while protecting the health of their employees? And how can they best communicate to their customers “we are ready to ship”?
