02. Intentional Event Design with Malak Sidky

Beyond the BEO

Digital and hybrid events are here to stay, so how do we engage our attendees, regardless of where they are? Join me as I chat with Malak Sidky, founder and president of Health Care Event Planning. We chat about ways to include attendees that may not be on-site. We also discuss how an event purpose can help shape your contracts going forward, making it easier for planners and suppliers alike.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How to engage off-site employees
• How to use dress rehearsals for virtual events
• How to use insurance and escrow companies to de-risk your events
