#179: Navigating The “New Normal“ Of Virtual Events with Rainey Foster

How hard could it be to host events virtually? Rainey Foster, executive vice president and partner at Leading Authorities, Inc., is here with Adam Markel to tell us that there is nothing easy about it – but that they are doing it anyway. If we can find the right resources and the right people to work with, we might be getting close to getting the hang of virtual events production. Even the highest-profile speakers and entertainers have to eat and many are finding their careers drastically affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual solution may not exactly have the same appeal as the “real” thing, but it is what we have. How do you turn it into a satisfactory experience for both the talents and their audiences? Rainey and her team are racking their brains and working hard to find the best solution that respects the needs of both parties. In this wide-ranging conversation, Adam and Rainey also trade their insights on jazz and life, grief and resilience, faith and hope, uncertainty and creativity, and the ability to pivot in the face of change.
