“We recognize that the needs of partners around the world during this time are significant,” said Bob Burke, president and CEO of eGroup Communications and The X-Change® MICE Conferences. “While the Virtual X-Change® MICE Webinar Series is focused on delivering informative and helpful resources to meeting planners every week during this challenging period of time, we wanted to do more to support our supplier partners and help the MICE industry recover from this pandemic. Looking ahead, we will remain focused on delivering the #ROI MICE conferences in 2020 for our partners.”
