MHA for Greater Baton Rouge's 3rd Annual Conference is one of many non-profit events affected by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The MHA affiliate planned to hold its annual conference in Baton Rouge on April 6-7, but due to COVID-19 and subsequent quarantine restrictions, they had to decide whether to cancel, postpone or host a virtual event.
Since its annual conference also serves as an annual fundraiser and is the largest unrestricted source of revenue, MHA for Greater Baton Rouge decided to partner with TPN Network to host a scaled-down version of the conference.
Join us for this free, 60-minute webinar as MHA for Greater Baton Rouge, TPN Network, and Amanda-Adams Barney discuss lessons learned in organizing, planning, and identifying the right platform for moving an in-person conference to a live virtual event to meet revenue goals. This webinar will benefit those looking to host a virtual conference event or webinar series.
