TIME REMAINING

until our techsytalk Conference on Sept. 28 & 29, 2021
I’m Liz King Caruso and I’ve been building community & facilitating critical conversations in the events industry for the past 10+ years. The techsytalk brand was created to curate the conversation around the discovery and implementation of avant-garde event “tech” solutions and ideas for event planners who are OBSESSED with delivering the most rewarding event experience.

 

COVID-19 has hammered the events industry, but it has also expedited innovation and new ways to approach new challenges. Virtual and hybrid events now at the forefront, and having 10+ years of experience in both, long before the pandemic, we’re psyched to re-launch our signature “techsytalk LIVE” event, now techsytalk GLOBAL, a year-round community and conference specifically designed to help our peers navigate this evolving landscape of gatherings.
 
The Future is So Bright, We Have to Wear Shades

Unique Digital Ideas

From innovative formats to boundary-pushing content, we're giving you all the skills you need to really move the needle for your event stakeholders. We'll try things that may not work (so you don't have to make those mistakes with clients) and we'll also try some amazing new ideas you can leverage! I'm all about learning together.

While the term “Virtual Event Expert” is getting tossed around quite a bit in the events industry, the truth is that even those of us who have been doing virtual & hybrid for years have a LOT to learn. The landscape is changing quickly because adoption is at an all-time high. And digital-first strategies are not going ANYWHERE.
