How to Plan an Innovative Virtual Event

Welcome to this 5-part series, How to Plan an Innovative Virtual Event. In the summer of 2020, I was the co-producer of the virtual, 3-day annual convention of my trade association, the National Speakers Association. In this series, I'll share with you five innovative things we did that got the best response from our attendees. Hopefully, you can adopt and adapt these ideas for your upcoming virtual events!

This video is all about contingency plans — why you need them, what kind of plans we put in place, and how our pre-planning saved our bacon when something went wrong!

Bill delivered more energy, engagement, and sheer value in a 20-minute virtual program than many speakers do in an hour, in-person! He combined real-world experience, compelling stories, and engaging activities to create an immediately-applicable program on innovation that got rave reviews from our members!
