Hybrid events are difficult to pull off in the best of times but this one was beautifully hosted by the PMI Melbourne Chapter. The event was set up in such a way that all participants could share their stories, some good jokes, and learn a thing or two. The ongoing support provided by the PMI volunteers in the lead up, during, and post the event made everything look so easy. I am sure that everyone that joined online and onsite had as much fun as I did in presenting the session. Well done to the team of volunteers at the PMI Melbourne Chapter for making this magic happen – and thank you for having me!
