In 2020, our peak events industry association, Meetings & Events Australia had to take both the national conference “Evolve” and national MEA Awards online for the first time. We’ve invited National MEA Board members Paula Nolan and Kirsty Forbes on to the podcast to share their experience and learnings as leads on the MEALIVE Awards and Evolve: Renovated respectively.

We had a great time chatting with Paul and Kirsty, and you’ll learn a lot about how important it is to reimagine an experience for an online audience. 

We cover a lot of ground from the importance of the right on-air talent, audience interactivity tips, the importance of partnering with the right vendors and making the right content choices. It all comes down to a lesson that has been shared on the podcast several times – when it comes to virtual events; we’re making television now.

We love that you’re listening to the podcast, we love it, even more, when you share episodes with your network! Feel free to share any of our posts from LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram. All these links and more can be found on our website www.backtothefutureofevents.com.
