Virtual Events are Here to Stay—We Know How to Keep the Tech Top-Notch

Virtual association conferences existed prior to the global pandemic. But, out of necessity, they came into their own during the COVID-19 outbreak. SB Expos & Events helped dozens of organizations successfully navigate the unique challenges of simultaneous or asynchronous virtual events. With the pandemic in the rearview mirror, we’ve seen that the hybrid convention model—virtual programming combined with an in-person conference—offers clients new ways to expand their impact.
