Vendor Highlight – Tech Platforms
After producing 30+ virtual events in the past year, Powered by Professionals has utilized many tech platforms. As we begin working on numerous hybrid events for this fall, we would like to highlight two of our favorite virtual vendors that we are excited to now integrate with our live events: Cadence and OneCause.
