We chat with Christian Morgan, Meghla Bhardwaj, Augustas Kligys, Athena Severi and Prabhat Shah and more, about the state of play with everyone on lock down and what 2020 holds for events and networking in different countries over the world.
A bit of a background

Effects of the Corona Virus
- Athena moved China Magic to October.

- Action plan: provide more value to people and write more content with Weekly Webinars for attendees.
- Global Sources Summit gearing towards virtual event by April.
- Augustus Kligys event has seen a drop in its attendees.
- Augustus complied with the rules of having only 100 people in a room at a time.
- Adjusted even time frame and had Danny cover three speaking events/ topics when some speakers had to fly home early.
Necessity is the Mother of Innovations
- Augustus pulled off his event by becoming creative with solutions from speakers to feeding the attendees.
- Danny’s event SellerSessions LIVE is also moved to a new schedule. It is now moved to July 25th.
- Event organizers put their money out to set up these events.
- Behavior patters
- Virtual events will happen more often.
- Webinars are in!
- Organize deals for your audience: software discounts and so on.
- Create more content, good content!
- Have something to look forward to and apply this in their businesses.
- You can run your business from home, remember that.
- Create content that help your audience build their business and prepare them.
Changes and forecasts
- A lot of events are being moved to September!

Schedules and Forecast
- Augustus will have PPC Congress in Amsterdam by August, September and October, Sellerfest Events (Israel, Lithuania) and EU Seller Conference in the mid of March next year.
- Mhegla is moving most speakers to October.
- Athena is looking forward to June and August.
- Until we see good news from the other places that have been heavily affected, then can we see the pattern.
- US is not as diligent as the other countries are.
- With the economic standstill happening. The biggest worry is that people will not have money or time to travel to the events.
- Amazon sellers should be pivoting their business.
- Provide as much value and connection so people will be thriving when the doors open.
- The upside to this: PEOPLE WILL BE CRAZY NOT TO GO OUT! Taking into consideration safety, of course.
- The world is not ending!
Summary
- Live events has that personal touch.
- Online events do not capture the essence of a live event.
- Do not get overwhelmed!
- Watch webinars and good contents online they are FREE!
- Let Danny know if you have good free content and he can announce it on his show!
- The real thing happens when you get to know people.
- Stay positive and learn to be more grateful for everything you have in your life.
