Just when we thought we were good to go, the omicron variant decided to show up at our programs and events. Without an invitation no less!
So how are we handling this latest twist of the pandemic? With agility, that’s how.
At Melibee Global Speakers, we continue to monitor the ebbs and flows of the pandemic and continue booking speakers through it all. Agility allows us to flex as needed to keep our speakers and your conference/training participants safe. For now (Jan. 5, 2022), most event planners and speakers are opting for virtual engagements.

Covid is so complex. Covid+event planning requires us to use our logistical, operational, creative and detailed planning skills at a unprecedented level. I hope the tips above are helpful as you continue to navigate these waters.
If you would like to know who on the Melibee Global Speaker roster is open to in person vs virtual only at this stage of the pandemic, please be in touch and I’ll be happy to provide the scoop!
