Michael Dominguez
Michael Dominguez: A Road Less Traveled

The experience of 2020 has absolutely been unexpected, uncertain, and devastating in many ways.  We now face a world, country, economy, and industry traveling a road much less traveled as we begin to restart our global commerce engine and hospitality industry.

The short-term post COVID19 environment will require our ability to work together, pivot often and learn as a community.  This session will examine the anticipated experience and industry protocols that will be in place for the remainder of 2020.

Michael J. Lyons: Where Do We Go from Here?

In this candid and interactive conversation, meetings industry veteran Michael Lyons discusses his perspective (with audience input) about how we are all dealing with the devastating impact of COVID-19 on our day-to-day lives and the future of our careers and industry. 2020 has been a wake-up call that has forced us to make changes in our lives we never anticipated, and how we regroup and manage those changes will shape our ability to succeed in a post-COVID world. Being hopeful and optimistic, working together and shaking off fear and uncertainty will be the pillars we rely on as we move forward.
