Back in July, I hosted a week-long Instagram Live series with Heidi Legein, Managing Director at The MICE Guru , a destination management company (DMC) based in Norway. During the past months of the lockdown, Heidi has been actively promoting her destination and inspiring and educating fellow event professionals about Norway.
