Technical framework & live production

As offices moved online and conferences were canceled, NOBL convened a virtual event addressing the changing nature of work.

Three tracks explored leading through uncertainty, remote work and resilience. Speakers represented organizations including The New York Times, Netflix, IBM and Intel.

MGKcreative developed the technical framework and coordinated speakers, production and live execution across the remote format.
