Overview
Many face-to-face events were moved to a virtual setting during the pandemic, and many benefits were discovered, from cost savings to improved sustainability. Now, planners are asked to consider which events should be live and which should be virtual or if a combination is the best format.
Read the scenario, the checklist items, and submission requirements, then compose a four-slide PowerPoint presentation and four-minute video assignment responding to the checklist items. You can compose your recording in Screencastify, Kaltura, or something similar, share your PowerPoint in your presentation, and upload both your video and PowerPoint to the Unit 6 Dropbox.
Scenario: You have been hired as a PCO for the Caribbean and South America Retailers Association (CSAEA). For the past three years, your meetings have been virtual, but before that, you rotated to various islands and countries so that everyone could host the annual summer meeting. Typically, the in-person event was for three days, but as a virtual meeting, you could host it all in one day. The CSAEA board would like you to help them decide whether they should continue with the virtual event, go back to an in-person event, or attempt a hybrid meeting.
