Advancing Places: The Future of Events

Producing events during a time of public health uncertainty can be challenging. This session explores how three organizations are revamping their events, enhancing their social media strategy and creating inviting spaces while limiting attendance. Speakers will discuss the future of events and the inconsistencies each of them are facing regarding the decisions to hold events. Join this webinar to learn from other experiences and engage in conversation with colleagues on this complex topic.

The session is free as part of IDA membership and $40 USD for non-members.

This session will include a moderated Q&A, but if you miss the live session, past recordings will be available.
