One way is to donate to charities and NGOs that are working on the ground in Ukraine. Go to https://www.koloua.com/en or https://u24.gov.ua/.
These organizations are providing much needed aid to those affected by the war, such as food, shelter, and medical care. Another way is to volunteer with local organizations that provide assistance to those in Ukraine. You can also support Ukrainian businesses and organizations by purchasing their products and services, or investing in them. Finally, you can spread awareness of the situation in Ukraine by educating others on the issue and engaging in advocacy campaigns to raise awareness and encourage action.
However, no matter how you choose to help, your efforts will be greatly appreciated and will contribute significantly towards the rebuilding of Ukraine.

>What’s your opinion on encore or other event production providers?

My opinion on encore or other event production providers is that they are a great resource for event planners, allowing them to outsource the more technical aspects of their event such as lighting, sound, and staging. This can be a great way to save time and money by taking advantage of the expertise these providers have to offer. However, it's important to do your research when selecting an event production provider to ensure they have the right experience and knowledge that fit your needs. Ultimately, using an experienced provider can be a great way to elevate your event and make sure it runs smoothly.

No, it is mixed events. Sometimes offline and some offline.
Sometimes I eat meals that are cooked from scratch using fresh ingredients and other times I opt for convenient pre-made foods. But regardless of what I'm eating, I absolutely love homemade cuisine. There's just something special about a home-cooked meal that can't be replicated with store-bought food. Home cooking allows you to customize your dishes to your tastes and also gives you the satisfaction of knowing that you made it with your own hands. It's also a great way to bond with family and friends as everyone can get involved in the cooking process.

Yeas, I am weirdo.

If there are difficulties with implementing such things or ideas, you need to explain to the right people why they should listen to you. To do this, you need to demonstrate the value of your idea. Here are some steps to consider:

  1. Confirm your opinion with a post survey of participants - Ask people who have already experienced your idea or have used it in a similar way what they think. This will give you an indication of whether your idea is viable and worth pursuing.
  2. Validate your opinion on a subreddit or in a slack - Posting on subreddits and slacks can give you an additional perspective from people who may not be familiar with your idea or the industry it applies to. Their feedback can help you understand if any changes or modifications need to be made before implementation.
  3. If possible, calculate your idea and the profit from its implementation - Crunch the numbers and determine how much money implementing your idea could make and how it could benefit the company financially. This will make it easier to show the value of your idea and convince others that it's worth pursuing.
    If necessary, I can share the event planning checklist I use for process. This will help ensure that all aspects are taken into consideration before making a final decision about implementation.

Before the war, I worked with large companies and corporations. And now I've moved on to startups. Doing webinars for devs.
In fact, I've always wanted to, I think I'm tired of corporate communication. If you know anything about emails in corporate culture, upvote)

>I've had connections on LinkedIn even before the war of startup folks in Ukraine, and have greatly enjoyed knowing them. Are there any plans to have a big online conference of Ukrainian entrepreneurs or a tech conference?

I'm currently doing IT webinars, but many of my friends are doing some really cool events as well. I'm not sure if I want to promote, but if you do a quick Google search, you can easily find out what events my friends are organizing.

I'm glad that you have met cool UA folks.

>The changes brought on by the war in Ukraine have been divided into three distinct stages. Initially, there was a month of silence, where no one was sure what was happening and was simply waiting for the situation to be resolved. Afterwards, the realization set in that this war would last over a year, so the industry changed to helping its neighbors with volunteering and fundraising events. Finally, an element of international support emerged in the form of the Zelenska Foundation and United24.

>I found my place among these events and activities by contributing to the IT industry and volunteering in hub. I had always wanted to help people but never expected to do it in such uncertain circumstances.

>I would not say that mentally we are fine as a hole generation. Anyway my kido drives me a lot, workout as well

Thank you for your question. The war in Ukraine has had a devastating impact on my family and many others. We have lost friends and family members, and many of us have had to flee our homes in search of safety. We have also seen our economy suffer and our infrastructure destroyed. It has been a difficult and heartbreaking time, but I am grateful for the support of the international community and the resilience of the Ukrainian people.
And I keep working, doing my job well to help those who in need. My current company donate over 500 000 ye. All this kindness keeps me on track.
