Salon: Running a Small Agency during a Pandemic

We’re meeting virtually with local agency leader Jill Spaeth for some real talk about running your small agency (5–20 person) during these uncertain times. Join us to discuss what’s working, and not, as well as share resources. You’ll come away with tips, tools, and a sense of community at a time when the coronavirus has disrupted business as usual for you and your clients.

 

You will be able to submit questions/topics for discussion beforehand. All attendees will receive a submission form a few days before the event. This will help our moderators address a wide range of concerns.

Joining the call via video is required to ensure an engaging and positive conversation. No phones only.

AIGA DC Salons are free, intimate roundtable discussions open to AIGA members only. Check your AIGA membership status at AIGA.org before registering. Want to enjoy this member benefit? Join today: http://www.aiga.org/join/.
