We know what you are thinking...and no, this is not just another round table talking about the future landscape of events! This is a conversation about taking actual steps to prepare yourself to deliver events in a post-covid world. Pause for a moment, have you REALLY thought about what that means?... Do you have your registration process ready? Have you considered contract tracing? Have you thought about filtration systems? How about managing traffic and crowds? How are the various teams involved reporting? How do you respectfully ask an attendee to leave an event for violating rules? These are all valid questions and Kevin White, Chief Strategist at XPL (and former ILEA International President) is someone who has extensive knowledge of exactly what this means and how we, as an event community, can be best prepared to deliver safe experiences for our clients and guests in the very near future. Make the most of NOW and join us on April 13 as we get prepared to bounce back, stronger than ever! ABOUT THE PRESENTER Kevin White CSEP - Chief Strategist, XPL & former ILEA President Kevin White has been a storyteller his entire life. That love of capturing attention and engaging people is what brought him to a decades-long career in experiential design. In 2011 he founded XPL, a boundary-pushing agency that delivers bold, powerful live events that transform audiences around the world. In 2019 he became a founding partner in the immersive executive learning experience The Table. Kevin’s commitment to his industry is demonstrated by his willingness to give back. He was selected by his peers to serve as international president of the International Live Events Association (ILEA) and he has been actively involved in the survival of the experiential industry since the pandemic broke out in 2020. He has produced and led over twenty webcasts designed to help event business owners weather the pandemic storm; he currently teaches through the Event Leadership Institute and created three certificate courses to help advance working and out of work professionals’ skill sets in the new event paradigm.
