The Atlantic Council is a leading think-tank organization that is dedicated to promoting constructive leadership and engagement in international affairs. As an organization that hosts numerous events and conferences, the Atlantic Council required a comprehensive solution for event management to streamline its processes and improve collaboration among its staff. To address this challenge, the Atlantic Council turned to Microsoft PowerApps, SharePoint, and Monday.com.
