In this episode, David is joined by Marie Hunter, Senior Director and Head of IEEE Global Meetings, Conferences & Events to discuss the podcast and what’s in store for listeners this season. As an event evangelist, Marie talks about her optimism for the future of convening. No matter how people get together, irrespective of the format, live and in-person gatherings are where the magic happens. The types of 'forums' for our conference community to share ideas may change, but at the heart of IEEE events is the passion to advance technology for the benefit of humanity.
