It’s Monday, which means it’s time for another episode of the Event Tech Podcast! Will is really excited to talk about event staffing today.

And similarly, Brandt and Will covered the topic of saving money on AV in the past as well.

After years of travel-banned holidays, we know you’re headed far out to your favorite corners of cities, woods and bluffs. But even with travel restrictions loosened, testing requirements and Covid-related rules still can make travel tricky. Not having the right documents could cost you your long-anticipated trip. And getting a Covid test with a reasonable turnaround time and accurate result should not be laborious, especially at this point.

An effective team building program can accomplish several important business objectives: improving employee communication, engagement, collaboration, problem-solving, and leadership skills, among others. It requires an investment in time, resources, and taking employees away from their regular roles. To optimize your return on that investment, it’s essential to create an environment where employees are comfortable and able to focus on the team building activity.

Signs are an important part of our day-to-day life, whether we think about it or not. They tell us when to stop in traffic, direct us how to get to where we want to go, tell us what to look at, and so on. With so many signs surrounding us all the time, choosing ones that stand out can be uniquely difficult — especially when it comes to the world of meetings and events.

What are the fairest rules to use when running meetings? This might seem like an odd question. You might ask, “Fair to whom?” or, “What do you mean by fair?” I think it’s reasonable to concentrate on fairness to participants : the majority of those involved with the meeting. As to what being fair to participants might look like, let’s turn to the ideas of the moral and political philosopher John Rawls.
The evolution of the DMC industry requires that it embark upon a renewed relationship with clients that is built upon transparency, trust, and understanding.
