Anyone involved with meetings and events knows how dramatically the Pandemic disrupted our industry.
Rapid pivots to online and hybrid formats, uncertainty about contracts, talent availability and travel risk ensued. These amplified existing trends like the exploding global talent universe, more diverse presenters and demand for stronger interactive elements. The world is settling into a new equilibrium where in-person forums are flourishing and talent pricing has jumped, especially since January 2022.
Dr. Gleb Tsipursky (Disaster Avoidance Experts), a hybrid workplace authority recently interviewed me and other speaker bureau owners on the future of our business. I hope you find value in those insights. Please see his recent Forbes article below. Feel free to note related trends in comments.
