Thursday, August 13
Agenda: Traci Gaydos is the Signature Events Manager in the School of Medicine and Public Health. In this role, she oversees between 50-60 events annually. Her portfolio ranges from large productions like graduation, orientations, and other extensive honorary ceremonies to consulting on a wide variety of projects, events, and conferences within the school. Traci draws on her background in theatrical production to inform the audience’s experience as event attendees and is committed to inclusion and stakeholder engagement.
This presentation — “Together, Apart” — will focus on best practices for virtual events. We’ll address the key components of what makes special events “special” and learn a framework for translating that into virtual spaces. You’ll come away with resources and tools to assist you in thinking about events from both strategic and tactical standpoints — and a top secret link to my stash of resources and templates. Come prepared with questions and we’ll learn from one another on how to bring people “Together, Apart.”
