When the pandemic hit, the meeting industry was one that screeched to a halt. Maria Ramos, founder of Innovative Meetings joins us on Episode 19 of the podcast to talk about the initial signs that something big was about to change, how quickly her clients felt the impacts, and what it looked like inside the plan for a massive pivot. We also chat about how she navigated the biggest challenges of her professional career while caring for herself and her family, and how she couldn’t wait to get back to banquet chicken and mediocre coffee!
