Technology & Events: Planning for the Best and Preparing for the Worst
Cassie Dispenza
Senior Director of Marketing & Partnerships
Saffire, Austin, TX
Part of what makes it so hard to plan events right now is that it’s impossible to know what the world may look like by the time your event date comes. Will you be able to have an event? If it happens, what will be the requirements? If you plan for an event, and then it gets canceled, how will you execute the cancellation and plan to take it online? Luckily, technology affords us so many opportunities that we wouldn’t have had if we were in this situation even 5 or 10 years ago. Join us as we cover some of the creative ways we’ve seen events adapt and what you can do to plan for your event in the future, regardless of what challenges it may bring.

THE INTERNSHIP DILEMMA: CREATING SUCCESSFUL INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCES AND RELATIONSHIPS DURING UNCERTAIN TIMES
|
|
Wednesday, September 2
11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. MDT
The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented job loss for paid workers and has upended the lives and education of college students, particularly regarding event internships. Although these are very challenging times, the event industry cannot afford to dismiss the important role interns play in developing a prepared workforce. This webinar will focus on how industry and academic institutions can partner effectively to ensure their organization’s needs and intern needs are met. Unique strategies for internship success while living in a COVID-19 world will be discussed from both industry and academic standpoints.
IFEA's COVID-19 Webinars are Free to IFEA Members and Non-Members. IFEA Members also have access to the recorded copy of each Webinar here.
