About

Events are, quite simply, about people. We need them all, the designers, builders and participants that weave together the fabric of humanity into memorable experiences. In this Talk Show hosted by David Adler, who has seen it all in 50 years of events, and Cameron Curtis, you’ll meet a variety of event professionals who are building community, one association, interaction and event at a time and learn about the impact they are having, every day, and how you can too.

Understand the many ways of leaving impact

Gain ideas for resilience in a changing environment
