Events: The Index
Get a taste for Vivienne’s kooky style and dynamic stage presence in our keynotes reel!
As many of you know, most large events and gatherings have been rescheduled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. However, Vivienne has continued consulting remotely with companies and organizations around the world. These briefings have covered Vivienne's research in artificial intelligence,
data science, HR, and innovation, but have also addressed the impact of COVID-19 on business and culture. Run via Zoom, these interactive sessions have ranged from intimate groups of Chief Executives to audiences as large as 150 attendees. We’ve received unanimously positive feedback: Vivienne’s breadth of knowledge and expertise in so many fields, paired with her fun and quirky delivery, has both provided actual insight while also promoting community as dispersed teams grapple with new workplace challenges.
If you or your organization are interested in setting up a remote conversation with Vivienne around technology and innovation, human resources, COVID-19, or otherwise, please reach out to us at keynotes@socos.org.
