Backed by over ten years of event experience\, Robyn was raised on PEI and studied stage management at Acadia University. She believes that events should be stress-free for her clients – you make the decisions\, she’ll make it happen. Also trained in the Art of Hosting\, a method of outside-the-box social collaboration\, she comes equipped with the tools to draw out the important conversations and increase meeting effectiveness \nNOTE: This session will be offered both virtually AND in-person at PEIBWA’s Rural Women’s Business Centre in Central Bedeque. \nPre-registration is required (limited spots available for in-person attendance to comply with social distancing protocols).  If you are joining us online for the session\, you will be provided with a Zoom meeting link once you complete your online registration. \nConversation Corner is a FREE program offered by the PEI Business Women’s Association (PEIBWA) and both members and non-members are welcome to attend. \nDo you have a business or workplace topic on your mind that you would like to discuss?
