No event planner would dream of running their event directly inside a war zone, but the question becomes more real the closer your destination is to areas of conflict. Neighbouring countries such as Poland have no say in the matter. They are already caught up in this challenging situation.

A few years back, we had to cancel an education event 15 minutes into a 4-hour curriculum because the WiFi was so bad none of the attendees could access the lesson. It was the most helpless feeling in the world watching our tech partner do his best to find a solution, but there was none. The event was a bust. Today, WiFi is even more critical, which is why this headline caught my attention this week. “ Exhibition Place debuts Wi-Fi 6 at Beanfield Centre , enhancing its premier offerings

If someone had asked me before I knew what it meant, I would look at them and ask why? However, today during one of my peer support training courses, I discovered this theory and was fascinated by how it was being used.

To say that communication is essential is an understatement for associations. Two years ago, when the unexpected pandemic hit us, the world as we knew it went digital overnight.
