The ICCA – International Congress and Convention Association – is the global community and knowledge hub for the international association meetings industry. With an international hybrid event, they aimed to showcase and define a set of best practices for the international meetings community regarding how association meetings will look like in a post-COVID-19 world. We at **DRPG **know a little something about [virtual events](https://www.drpgroup.com/en/news/drpg-reach-the-one-million-milestone?hsLang=en), having produced almost 500 in the past six months. This, combined with over 40 years of experience in the event management world, meant we were the perfect digital partners to help ICCA achieve their goals and produce a truly hybrid experience.

Our CEO Dale Parmenter spoke at the conference, discussing how live and virtual events will co-exist after COVID-19. Check out his presentation here:
