Virtual Brunch with Actual Nerds – Episode 19

3/18/2021

“In-Person Events Are Here. Get Ready.”

Do you miss actual human interaction but also love official rules and procedures? Well, we have the webinar for you! Everyone in the Events Industry cannot wait to start hosting in-person meetings again, and some of us are already doing it! However, we can’t just go willy-nilly into our germ-sharing ways of old. Oh no, no, no. We have new protocols!

Guest Nerd and veteran planner, Sally Mainprize, is fresh off an in-person meeting in New Orleans. We’ll ask her how she helped to keep the attendees safe and what in-person events look like *right* now. From travel to hotel to ballroom and back, Sally gives us a boots on the ground view of what to expect.
