Flock discussed the following topics with its panel of experts:

• The huge impact online events has on the marketing industry.

Mike Lysko, chief executive officer and founder of Flock Eventing Platform, said: “The nature and scope of events are changing every day due to rapidly developing tech innovation. No one knows what gatherings will look like in a year or even a few months’ time. Flock is always interested in opening up conversations and learning more about how other industries are handling the constant change and what they predict will happen in the coming months and years. Our webinar series will be a great resource for anyone looking to find out more about the ever-changing event and tech industry.”
