A strong advocate for the potential for virtual events, Whitney sees enormous opportunities for nonprofits and associations whose only communication option during COVID-19 has been the virtual platform.
"Almost every leader I know is facing the challenge of engaging their customers in a virtual environment. For many organizations, this is an immediate and critical option for continuity and staying connected to their communities. Our virtual event playbooks and management services can help them create new revenue streams and expand those communities well beyond expectations," Whitney asserts. "Our team of experts will help organizations transform their virtual events program into a wellspring for long-term growth and a hybrid future!"
