Outsourced Explores: Innovation & Adapting to Change
In this final episode Yasmeen hosts three members of the Outsourced Events and Outsourced Engagement leadership team. As event planners it is intrinsic to be able to adapt and as a company it is key to innovate, over the past 20 years we have done both.
Over the course of the pandemic we saw the popularity of virtual events sky rocket as businesses sought to replace the sales funnel with leads that usually came from tradeshows and other events. As an agency we upskilled our workforce from in-person event specialists to also be experts in delivering premium virtual events. At the heart of the discussion we look at how the world continues to change and how we must as a business and as people reflect that.
