The travel industry took a pretty big hit during the pandemic, but when it comes to events, it forced them to think outside the box and deliver what truly matters.

In this episode, host Rachel Andrews is joined by Jess Hayes (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesshayes/), Senior Director of Digital and Growth Marketing Membership Operations at GBTA (https://www.gbta.org/) (Global Business Travel Association), and Nicole Seely (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoleseely/), Manager of Event Operations.
