About HCM Deck events:

Events play a vital role in the marketing efforts and a huge part in the success of the HCM Deck’s brand recognition. Prior to the pandemic, HCM Deck hosted mainly traditional events. We have developed such formats as L&D Meetups, Best Practices Day, or Leadership Breakfast, HR Workshops. In 2020, we have made a switch to an online model while preserving the unique atmosphere of Deck’s real-life interaction. Currently, we're still hosting online and hybrid events even though some plans of returning to a traditional format are back in our conversations.
