Accelerate your event scoping and software selection process.
Member Challenge
Your organization is considering holding an event online, or has been, but:
- The organization (both on the business and IT sides) may not have extensive experience hosting events online.
- It is not immediately clear how your formerly in-person event’s activities translate to a virtual environment.
- Like the work-from-home transformation, bringing events online instantly expands IT’s role and responsibilities.
