The Planner - Supplier Rumble!
This session starts in an engaging way that immediately encourages all participants to let down their guard. The panel
settles into a candid discussion about issues selected right from the audience members themselves via an anonymous
poll. The session is a lively, matter-of-fact discussion with the audience encouraged to participate as well. It all ends withsome words of encouragement about how we all can strive to build better relationships, and it never has to feel like a“face-off.” We’re all on the same side: the side of serving our participants with the best possible event experiences.
