Host: David Adler Guests: Jennifer Savica, Sophie Ahmed In this special sponsored episode of GatherGeeks, BizBash founder and chairman David Adler sits down with longtime event pros Jennifer Savica, vice president and head of corporate events for New York Life Insurance Company, and Sophie Ahmed, senior vice president of market strategy for Hubilo. The trio discusses the newfound clout of corporate event organizers and how C-suite executives' perception of events is changing. They also touch on the pain points of engagement strategies, navigating new formats for producing events, the inclusivity of event technology, and building upon the momentum created by the return of live events.

The pandemic has upended how events and work gets done. Where work is done is no longer a one size fits all; and when work gets done is also debatable since companies have shifted to remote working. Cathy Novelli, CMO at Hubilo, shares how the industry can rethink what events can and should look like in this new landscape.

With companies battling screen fatigue, production values of events have gone up significantly. Organisations were also sent scrambling by COVID-19 to put together non-traditional event planners such as internal communications departments, HR groups, and DEI councils. However, do-it-yourself events may still not be enough, and Hubilo's VP of corporate marketing, Liesl Leary-Perez, shares why.

The #EventIcons podcast is back with a very special guest: Hubilo's CEO Vaibhav Jain. Hubilo is the leading global virtual and hybrid event technology company. Under Vaibhav's leadership, Hubilo has raised over 150 million in less than a year from leading hedge fund and venture capital firms globally. And it still continues to grow exponentially internationally.    Vaibhav's vision is to create a solution that works for every possible industry where content and community come together beyond the business world. He and Karmen will talk about how Hubilo got started, what challenges they faced along the way, and what are the dos and don'ts of the events industry, as learned in 2021. Let's jump right in.

We are in a particularly crucial moment in the evolution of events and event technology. The pandemic accelerated many trends towards digitization that were embraced by the industry, because really we had no choice. But now, industry members are taking a hard look at what we've learned so far and what our strategies should be moving.   In this episode of Eventful: The Podcast for Meeting Professionals, we share excerpts from the recent MeetingsTech Roundtable 2021. Moderated by Michael Shapiro, executive editor for Northstar Meetings Group, it includes a number of insights from top industry thought leaders, including entrepreneur and advisor Marco Gilberti, CEO of Vesuvio Ventures; tech expert Dahlia El Gazzar, the founder and force behind DAHLIA+ Agency; and marketing and events executive Cathy Song Novelli, senior vice president of marketing and communications at Hubilo.   Listen for some highlights of our discussion, or watch the full roundtable on demand at northstarmeetingsgroup.com/MeetingsTech2021. Topics from this conversation include:   How organizers are learning because they have permission to experiment and innovate with virtual events  (4:57)   Why it's key for planners to move past the desire to return to how things were in 2019 (7:00)   How we need to go beyond turning all of our events into basic webinars (10:00)   Why we should think less about "hybrid events" and more about the hybrid world (11:49)   Why 2021 is different because we should have a digital strategy in place if we cancel in person (15:42) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest Ewa Jodlowska Jackie Augustine Panelists Eric Berry | Justin Dorfman | Richard Littauer Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! The podcast where we talk about sustaining open source for the long haul. We are super excited to have two guests with us, Ewa Jodlowska, who is the Executive Director of the Python Software Foundation and has been with the PSF since 2012. We also have Jackie Augustine, who is the Director of Events at the Python Software Foundation and she joined the PSF in 2018 to assist in the planning of PyCon US. Today, we're going to talk with Ewa and Jackie about how PyCon works, which is the largest annual gathering for the community using and developing open-source Python programming language. Since PyCon US 2021 had to go virtual this year, we learn what they've done different, using Hubilo as their event platform, sponsors feedback, how attendance was, the value of these conferences, and if they would ever go hybrid. Also, we learn about a successful virtual job fair that Jackie did this year for PSF and find out the one thing she's most excited for the next PyCon. Download this episode to find out much from Ewa and Jackie! [00:03:23] Ewa fills us in how PyCon US is different from PyCon. Jackie tells us what they've done since last year and how they've adapted since COVID came through. [00:06:08] Jackie tells us why they went with Hubilo as their event platform, and how the sponsors feedback was for the virtual experience overall. [00:08:14] Justin asks how the attendance was for the virtual event. Also, he wonders if going forward if they see themselves doing a hybrid. [00:12:34] Richard is curious to know from Jackie and Ewa if an ecosystem level of analysis of what PSF does and what their conferences are, influenced their decisions at all and is there anything they're doing to make it more sustainable ecologically. Also, Jackie tells us how international attendance was at their conference. [00:15:12] Ewa talks about the “value” of these conferences for the ecosystem as a whole and what would happen if we just never have them again. [00:17:03] Jackie tells us about the successful job fair she did this year which was a virtual set up. [00:18:52] Richard asks if they've looked into moving beyond the single annual convention format. [00:21:08] Eric could only imagine what Jackie must go through in the weeks prior to the conference and asks her to talk a bit about the experience on an emotional level that she goes through, and she tells us what she learned through this process that she didn't expect. [00:24:17] Richard asks if there's any way Jackie's made or plans on making it easier for people who come to the conference to join in the decision-making process for a PSF, to join into working groups and feel like they're a part of something bigger than just watching a talk, and how has that shaped how you're planning future models. [00:25:51] What is Jackie most excited about in the future for the next PyCon? [00:26:01] You can find out from Ewa where to follow PSF, where you can sign up to go the conferences, and where you can follow Jackie online to connect with her. Quotes [00:08:52] “In the end, you know, we had our goals, we had our tiers of goals, and we hit what we thought we would hit, and we were successful in that.” [00:10:21] “I think the question that we're asking ourselves is, do you actually take that component out in their ability for anybody to attend whether they feel comfortable traveling or not.” [00:11:29] “When you add something like a hybrid event, you're really planning two events at the same time, so that really changes up how we're able to do that with the resources that we have.” [00:13:02] “Some of the things that we're doing or planning on doing is like the swag papers and all that is going away moving forward, so we're taking the steps. We work with the convention centers as well and make sure that they are doing their part in the sustainability and things like that.” [00:13:51] “Yes, it's been wonderful for the environment that we've all kind of had to reset and stay home, but I also think that's going to have a little bit of an adverse effect because now everyone is going to be like, oh my gosh, I want to be together, you know, whenever that can happen.” [00:15:32] “And I feel like actually there are hundreds of people that attend PyCon that probably never go to a talk. All the value that's there for them is to network with people, to talk about their projects with people, to have, you know, their projects be seen and tested, whatever the case might be.” [00:19:30] But then PyCon went to Cleveland, but that I think also helped reinforce a lot of the attendance when you looked at the numbers and how many people attended from Ohio was really incredible, right, so it kind of brought the larger scale portion of it.” [00:24:40] “We rely a lot of volunteer committees.” [00:25:51] “What are you most excited about in the future for the next PyCon? Seeing faces! Makes sense, checks out, I get it!” Spotlight [00:27:55] Justin's spotlight is a Linkedin 2.0 site called Polywork.com. and if you use the VIP code: sustainopensource, so you can get in on it. [00:28:31] Eric's spotlight is an online game called Pardus. [00:29:19] Richard's spotlight is Bohemian Bakery in Montpelier, Vermont. [00:30:09] Ewa's spotlight is two software platforms, Registrasion and Symposion. [00:31:47] Jackie's spotlight is sustainability for everything that the PSF does and the ability to have this position.

Event Specialists' Mahoganey Jones shares tips for leveraging audience data, monetization opportunities and more.   The restrictions on in-person gatherings over the past 16 months gave meeting planners the opportunity to embrace digital events. But for Mahoganey Jones, founder and CEO of Toronto-based Event Specialists, her company had already been “going virtual” for more than a decade.   In this episode of Eventful: The Podcast for Meeting Professionals, Jones discusses how she used her experience as a longtime producer of virtual events, and how the growth of hybrid is opening up new ways for planners to extend the life of their meetings. Here she discusses how to drive value before and after the event itself through smart monetization opportunities, digging in to audience data and more.   Among the points Jones discusses:   Why planners must focus on their core strengths, whether they are creating a virtual, in-person or hybrid event. (3:40)   How a “paid upgrade” approach can help planners monetize their virtual events. (5:55)   How to stand out in a crowded marketplace. (9:35)   How an affiliate model can be used to create additional funding opportunities. (10:30)   Why limiting space for in-person events can be an advantage. (15:20)   Why the post-event process is a crucial, but often overlooked, piece of the event marketing cycle. (19:15) This episode is sponsored by Hubilo, the hybrid platform built for event excellence. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the current situation, the rise and requirement for virtual and hybrid events are definitely on the rise - have you made the move yet? Listen to our live podcast every week on our Facebook page, or you can listen to the podcast version to find out how you can make your online events simple. In this episode, I'm going to be joined with our guest speaker, Romel Ahmed. Romel is a marketing, communications, events and global campaign leader with 20 years' experience directing and developing large scale, high profile events, such as summits, conferences, exhibitions and festivals. Further experience leading communication and experiential marketing projects for global brands and cause-related campaigns at major international sports and entertainment events in several markets.

We will be discussing how you can make your online event simple and ways you can go about approaching this. 01:32 - What it's like to be a part of a virtual event for the first time 03:26 - Having a professional host as part of your virtual event 04:49 - Why a virtual host can make your online event simpler 05:35 - Social media to promote events 07:13 - How to use LinkedIn to market your event 08:53 - How to breakdown content for a virtual event 11:11 - Technology with events As always, EventMind is here to guide you through the event technology available out there. EventMind helps organisations design, develop and manage virtual events and experiences. We enable organisations to create community, encourage collaboration and wow attendees using digital tools and platforms. Our expert teams use their industry knowledge and our signature Virtual Profit Framework to create custom and strategic virtual events which support organisational goals, needs and challenges. The four pillars of our framework are also our core values: content, community, creativity and collaboration. ​EventMind does not endorse any particular virtual event platform or software. We review the platforms available on the market monthly (through a combination of client feedback, test events and demos). There's no platform which is an ‘all in one' or ‘all-inclusive' solution when it comes to virtual event platforms. Bear in mind, most virtual event platforms were originally live event apps or software. Covid19 accelerated many platforms to pivot into creating virtual event solutions. In the long run, this seems to be a smart move as hybrid events are likely to become standard (especially if you understand how to monetize hybrid events and maximise global audience reach). For more information on how to make the pivot to virtual events, call our team of specialists on 0333 050 9360 or email us at team@eventmindpro.com.
