As public-sector communicators, we’ve been tasked this year with forging into the unknown and creating virtual events for much-loved in person events to one-time celebrations.

But where do you start when it comes to selecting an online conference style event, hybrid in-person/virtual event or a pre-recorded celebration that’s right for your agency? With so many possibilities for event formats and hosting platforms, the possibilities are nearly endless and often overwhelming!

During this webinar, you’ll hear from three veteran communications pros, who recently orchestrated successful virtual events (using a variety of hosting platforms and formats) that made an impact on the communities they serve.  

Key Take-a-Ways:

• Types of virtual events and how to decide what makes sense for your agency

• Agency case studies featuring an annual festival, state of the city, ribbon cutting and more
