When we consider the devastating impact the pandemic has had on the events industry, it is easy to see the glass as half empty. However, we would not be true to our nature if we did not look at the glass as half full and identify opportunities in these challenging times.

Virtual events break down physical barriers, allowing us to expand the Leading Live brand internationally in just a few months. Beyond the international conferences that would traditionally have taken place domestically, we now also have direct access to events organized anywhere in the world.

It is therefore with great pride that we began collaborating with the Society for the Study of Emerging Adulthood (SSEA) on the 10th SSEA Conference (November 4–6, 2021). Originally planned to take place in San Diego, the event was held in a fully remote format, with speakers and participants from across the globe.

We provided a comprehensive end-to-end solution to deliver a unique experience, from the submission of scientific papers and participant registration to the full implementation and production of the event from our operations center in Lisbon.
