Event planners are recommending virtual meetings. Why? Join us on the next #eventtable chat, Monday 2/20 at 3 pm est, when our guest will be Samuel J. Smith, one of the authors of a new MPI/Maxvantage study entitled The Strategic Value of Virtual Meetings and Events .

The new study has revealed some surprising insights about virtual meetings and events. For instance, although in the past virtual meetings have been thought of as one-off events, they are now becoming a larger part of many organizations’ event portfolios.

What types of virtual meetings are these organizations making use of?  According to the research, online meetings and video conferencing are the most popular.

The study takes a look at formats, sourcing, measurement and comparisons to face to face.

Join a few of the authors of this study, including Samuel J. Smith of Interactive Meeting Technology, at the next #eventtable chat to discuss The Value of Virtual Meetings for Event Professionals.
