During the past few years, online conferences have gained traction as an alternative or add-on to in-person professional conferences when budgets are limited. With the onset of Coronavirus, virtual events have become the norm for now. I believe we’ll move into 2021 with hybrid events that allow people to attend events within their budgets.
Attending an event as a team allows you to divide and conquer, cover more topics and share your session takeaways later. Here are a few things teams can benefit from when attending an event together:
- Increase Your Team Expertise & Knowledge. The ability to attend more tracks and sessions allows your team to fill their calendars with live-streamed sessions as well as recorded presentations later.
- Enthusiasm. The real value of attending an event with your team can’t be measured in a statistic. You’ll see the value in how it permeates your entire team culture, as your staff not only bonds during the event, but also brings fresh ideas to the meeting room “table” for weeks, months, and years to come.
- Idea Generation. Schedule time with internal teams for retrospectives and follow-up working sessions to translate their virtual event experience into takeaways and action items.

Offered by Presented By: Andi Campbell, Senior Vice President, People and Culture, LAZ Parking.
Navigating the “usual” leadership and management work, coupled with providing 24/7 consult, comfort and crisis-management for COVID-19 pandemic, has become the new normal for industry leaders. But, the emotional impact of urgent demands – like developing new policies and managing mass furloughs – is taking its toll. Considering that most of us are working remotely, while doing a dance to also maintain normalcy for family life outside of work, it’s no surprise that leaders in our community are feeling exhausted. Come prepared to think about how we maintain personal and professional well-being, and how we can safely help our employees get back to work. Andi offers real, immediate takeaway strategies to help you and your team stay well.
