696: Virtual Events, Arianna Rehak, Matchbox Virtual Media

Virtual Events Arianna Rehak, Matchbox Virtual Media – The Sharkpreneur podcast with Seth Greene Episode 696 Arianna Rehak Arianna Rehak is the CEO and Co-Founder of Matchbox Virtual Media, which is a virtual production company passionate about hosting conversations that matter. Her humble entrepreneurial spirit blossomed at the young age of 7 when she earned $1.15 USD (adjusting for inflation is $1.74) renting out art supplies to her underwhelmed neighbors. Fast forward a few years, and life plopped her into the ever-welcoming arms of the association community. She grew a digital publication and online community for association professionals, and in this context created her first virtual conference. Her passion lies in bringing people together to co-create, so much so that she might have named her company Gestalt (had “gestalt” been a more attractive word.) Listen to this illuminating Sharkpreneur episode with Arianna Rehak about virtual events. Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week’s show: ● How many conferences became virtual events due to COVID-19. ● Why putting together teams can be incredibly important when working virtually. ● How virtual events aren’t just moving everything onto Zoom, they are more complicated than that. ● Why virtual events are less distracting for people attending the events. ● Why many people prefer virtual events as opposed to in-person events.
