Having Eleni represent Principal Global Events on the micebook Shadow Board is a fantastic opportunity for both her professional growth and us as a Company. Her involvement means we have a direct connection to the next generation of event leaders, allowing us to challenge conventional thinking, embrace new ideas, and strengthen our position as a forward thinking agency. I am super excited to see how this develops.
