TIME REMAINING

until our techsytalk Conference on Nov. 17 & 18
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.
 
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. Join us to learn all about these strategies and more.
INFLUENCERS – THOUGHT LEADERS – INNOVATORS
