With the events industry focused on hybrid and virtual events instead of more traditional live events, event producers need to pay careful attention to the attendee experience. At a live event, so much of the attendee experience is related to the venue, the food, and the proximity to other attendees. With an online event, those factors are non-existent and care must be taken to ensure that each virtual attendee has an immersive experience.

Dignity is different from respect in that it is not based on how people perform, what they can do for us, or their likability. Dignity is a feeling of inherent value and worth.
