Lessons Learned from 3 Years of Hybrid\nOver the past three years associations have tested various digital delivery methods for conference content: virtual\, hybrid\, synchronous\, asynchronous\, live\, and pre-recorded. This period of pivoting (yes we used the “p” word) has resulted in an ever-growing body of knowledge in the association world on the topic of digital content. Important benchmarks are now being released about attendance\, costs\, and ROI. Best practices and case studies are being shared in hundreds of outlets. As such\, many organizations are going with a digital-first strategy while others are longing for a return to 2019. Join us for an engaging and lively discussion where we explore the lessons learned and the possible paths for moving forward. Define what “hybrid” means\, how to have knowledgeable conversations with your stakeholders about digital delivery\, and what the possible outcomes of the various options could be. \nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\n  Barry Schieferstein\, CMP\, DES\n  Director\, Events\n  American Society for Nondestructive Testing\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n  Sara Stehle\, CAE\, CMP\n  Owner and Independent Planner\n  Wow Moments Experience & Event Design\n\n\n\n  \n\n3:15 PM – 4:15 PM – Decision Made.

Beth Surmont of 360 Live Media will guide the conversation on how legislation affects the events industry and speak with two planners from organizations that have navigated either relocating an event or remained at destination despite opposition. This session will focus on the next steps that the organization needed to focus on and act upon after that decision was made. \nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\n  Beth Surmont\, FASAE\, CMP-Fellow\, CAE\n  Vice President Event Strategy & Design\n  360 LIVE MEDIA\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n  Robin Troutman\n  Deputy Director\n  National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n  Nneka St. Gerard\, CMP\n  Chief Program Officer\n  Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine\n\n\n\n  \n\n4:30 PM – 5:00 PM – Better Together – Industry Idea Xchange\nAs we roll into the end of 2023\, we want to create open space for our smart community to learn and share from each other.
