On Thursday, May 7, 2020, Alpha Media held a virtual keynote entitled Now What? Tools for DifficultTimes, the first of its kind for the company. Author and Ted Talk alum Greg Bell was the featured speaker along with special guest Meghan Trainor.

"The goal of the event was to offer our employees and clients positive and actionable planning strategies to maximize personal and professional opportunities as we begin the re-entry phase of this crisis," said CEO Bob Proffitt .

Close to 1000 guests virtually attended as Bell provided key insights and incredible tools for moving forward in this new era. Grammy Award winner Meghan Trainor discussed with Skyview Network host Dana Cortez how she is using her platform positively to help feed those in need at this time. They also tackled how to handle the pressure and fatigue from the constant influx of social media during the pandemic.

Alpha Media believes that innovation, creativity and connection are important now more than ever. To meet that need, Alpha is excited to announce that its Virtual Keynote series will continue throughout the year with new speakers and guests to be announced.
