It's been really fun to watch over the years all the change that has happened. Share on X I was able to see, through this optical engineering society, an entry-way into a lot of technology well before we saw it broadly. Share on X It was 2007 when the iPhone was released, but it takes a little while before people start using it. And it was only in 2010 that mobile ads, specific for events and trade shows, really started to see huge growth. Share on X I think there's a great opportunity for change that's happening here. We're seeing so much innovation happening in the virtual events space. For the long term, virtual events and hybrid events will still be a component of the industry. Share on X
