Better Virtual Conferencing (just in time for NAFSA!) - Ep10 CANIE Climate Dialogues
-
- Education
The CANIE Climate Dialogue Podcast returns after a short hiatus just in time for the mother of all conferences in international education: NAFSA and others coming up like Going Global and BCCIE’s Summer Conference! CJ chats with returning CANIE Co-Host and virtual event master (and fan!) Evelien Renders about a recent article she co-published on what we’ve learned about virtual conferencing since our jump-into-the-deep-end first circuit as a result of the COVID19 pandemic. CJ and Evelien discuss the reduced carbon footprint of virtual conferences, the challenges and opportunities of virtual conferences, some tips for exhibitors, attendees, speakers, and planners, and wrap it up with their hope for the future of conferences in the sector! The presenting sponsor for the CANIE Climate Dialogues is the University of Auckland's International Office.
