The editorial board of Kongres Magazine wanted to hear some thoughts and advice from key opinion-makers from the meetings industry. So we asked them to answer a couple of questions about how they are managing the situation with COVID-19.
We asked them about economic consequences for the meetings industry, virtual meetings, digital marketing and, of course, what will happen after we’ve beaten the virus.
Enjoy the interviews and make sure to share them with your colleagues!
