Attendees changed. Buyers changed. Metrics changed. And most of us rebooked the same hotel. This week on Event About It, New York Times bestselling author and innovation keynote speaker Diana Kander joins host Megan Martin to diagnose five stagnant event strategy problems nobody in the industry is naming out loud, and the curiosity question that breaks each one open.
