Executive Webinar Producer and Promoter

• Dec 2020 - Present

Webinar production is an art, or at least it should be. Producing webinars should be akin to producing a world class Play on Broadway or a Blockbuster in Hollywood. SupplyChainBrain has engaged with Ralph Henderson of OmniChannel productions to produce World-Class Blockbuster webinars. We will work with the premiere companies in the supply chain to create a program that gets information out in an informative, powerful, and dare I say, 'fun sometimes' kind of way. This will be STRONG! Webinar production is an art, or at least it should be. Producing webinars should be akin to producing a world class Play on Broadway or a Blockbuster in Hollywood.
