XTRA Raleigh – A focused mini Conference for in-house corporate event leaders
XTRA is a high-impact, half-day experience designed for in-house corporate event leaders who want space to step back from delivery and think more strategically about the role live events play today.
If you’re part of an in-house corporate event team, whether your focus is event strategy, marketing communications or delivery, XTRA offers a great opportunity to learn, reflect and exchange perspectives with others working at scale across different organisations. Alongside the keynote, the mini conference is built around small, facilitated discussions, allowing you to explore how ideas apply in your own context and learn from how other teams are approaching similar challenges.
XTRA is free to attend for corporate in house event planners and supported by DRPG. It’s deliberately short, highly focused, and designed to be a worthwhile investment of your time.
