About the company
My client is the global conferences and events division of a British media outlet that focuses on business and economic current affairs. Their mission is to bring global executive audiences the very latest in knowledge and opinion, and connect them to one another.

These Live events keep people connected and informed in an uncertain and constantly changing world. Using leading digital technology, they have now taken their content, global audience reach and engagement to a new level through a series of unmissable virtual events.
Whilst they are committed to remain a digital-first organisation, they also understand that some attendees are eager to return to in-person events again and soak up the experience of connecting with others.
