Signing ceremonies have been momentous occasions for the participants involved. Traditionally, these events kick off with formal speeches from dignitaries, leading on to the signing on paper to the final photo session to mark the milestone event followed by a networking session with the participants. COVID-19 has disrupted the events industry and the way that events are organised, forcing the events industry to rapidly innovate and digitise most of its services.

One of the best and simplest ways to build active learning and connection into any meeting is to regularly use pair share.

The title says it all. Inviting an ex to your wedding is not something that should be taken lightly. Unfortunately, there is no cut and dry answer to whether or not you should invite them. If you are faced with inviting an old flame to your wedding, be sure to ask yourself these questions first. Are they really an ex? If you went on three dates, and the spark just wasn’t there but they remain in your mutual friend group – they might not even qualify for ‘ex’ status.

For whatever reason—lethargy, existing infrastructure or the lack of a compelling impetus for change—it has developed a superiority complex. Meanwhile, another environment has emerged, courtesy of the Internet, where individuals can learn, network, establish relationships, buy and sell using digital platforms.
