    "Current Challenges for the Government Meeting Professional"



    Back by popular demand, this virtual meeting will allow attendees to explore, discuss, and find solutions to, current challenges they face in the meeting planning arena.  The meeting facilitator(s) will introduce and begin discussions on specific topics and share solutions that have worked for them, and then attendees can share with the assembly, their own ideas and solutions that they have found for the challenges they face. The result will be a shared arsenal of solutions to common challenges, and ways to do your job more efficiently and effectively during these ongoing hard times. 


    If you have a specific topic, you would like the group to discuss, please email robin.toth@courts.wa.gov


    We will also be discussing the future of our Chapter. 


    This is a virtual meeting. TEAMS link will be sent out the week of April 7th.


    No fee to participate.

    How to Facilitate a Successful Hybrid Presentation

    Speaker: Dr. Tyrone Homes

    By definition, a hybrid presentation is a session that includes both in-person and virtual audience members. There are several potential advantages to a hybrid presentation including larger audiences because of reduced barriers to participation, better engagement, reduced costs for virtual attendees, enhanced sponsorship opportunities, improved data collection capabilities, increased return on investment and environmental friendliness with a reduced carbon footprint. This session will discuss specific steps meeting planners need to take BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the event to facilitate a successful hybrid presentation.

    Meeting qualifies for 1 contact hour in Technology.
