We sit on a gold mine of information we’ve built from scratch: 16,376 records of conferences happened or scheduled since we opened our doors five years ago.* These numbers change daily if not hourly, we do not try to claim this includes every event in existence, and yes, the uncertainty about the rest of 2020 remains.
As we wait, we’re incredibly busy keeping these numbers and the details that come with them updated as information becomes available, as well as working with podcast and webinar opportunities so clients can continue to build thought leadership right now.

As the events industry looks to tackle the challenges wrought by COVID-19, the question stands: how can speakers stay ahead of the curve while also doing their part to flatten it?
