Welcome, Jon Berghoff from Flourishing Leadership Institute, Inside the Greenroom! Live events are getting more expensive to run, tickets are harder to sell, and information is becoming commoditized! In this episode, Jon shows you how to run a new type of event that gets your audience engaged throughout the entire process, and has them leave wanting to come back for more. We discuss transforming the type of event from passive to active learning, crowdsourcing wisdom from event attendees, orchestrating the event to help people connect easier, and much more!
