““A great way to welcome the delegates and grab their attention before our first session started. Customised with the conference logo it was a really a good way to kick off the first virtual event for our client.””
Grin and Tonics™ … the hilarious one to two-minute photo montages filled with eye-catching images along a quirky theme … can be used as a wonderful way of starting a conference day or getting the audience’s focus back on track after breaks .
