Inspiration

The AP Automation Department at American Express wanted to find a way to virtually engage with their clients since all live events had been canceled indefinitely. It was important for them to be able to reach as many clients as possible and share beneficial information about the AP Automation industry in an exciting and rewarding way.

The company also wanted the freedom and flexibility to run an unlimited number of webinars throughout the year so they could drive engagement and interaction with their audience.
