Hello Megha, 

• If you're a hotelier, do share what you think would help planners in 2022?    
• 1.)  I know that our hotel help planners by providing detailed information at the RFP stage.
• 2.)Marriott has/had very good brand COVID policy informational sheet to provide to planners so they understood how the hotel was handling safety measure during the pandemic.  
• 3.) We used CVent Diagramming to provide visuals of meeting sets that incorporated social distancing.
• 4.) We learned all about Hybrid Meetings and how to assist a planner hosting a Hybrid Meeting. 
• 5.) The Westin Tampa Bay's entire sales and catering team become certified earning certifications in Cvent Hybrid Meeting, Cvent Suppliers and Cvent Diagramming

Hello all! I hope you all are ready to kickstart this week's Huddle of the Week post!

Let's take this opportunity to share what we've learned from in-person, hybrid, and virtual events in the past few years. There's nothing more valuable than empowering each other through the knowledge we've acquired from our experiences. At the end of the day, our goal is to get planners and suppliers closer. 

As we navigate through the events landscape in 2022, we would love to know your thoughts on –

• If you're a hotelier, do share what you think would help planners in 2022? If you're a planner, what do you think hoteliers should be most cognizant of in 2022?

There is so much we can learn from each other. So, let your valuable experiences become a source of inspiration in the comment section below! #HuddleoftheWeek #VoiceIt

what do you think hoteliers should be most cognizant of in 2022? I think hoteliers should know how excited we are to come back to the event world! Come
prepared with competitive rates, new event ideas and creative food and beverage. I will tell my hotelier up front where my event stands from a health and safety standpoint so they can be prepared to offer ideas that make sense and are enticing to my attendees!

The uncertainty of live events has many planners a little gun shy. Consider allowing for "out" clauses should the climate of masking/vaccine change in a way that the event holder is not comfortable with, and be willing to be flexible. We all want to get back to live events, so the more confident we can be in "taking a change" at getting back to live events, the better!

Hotelier's need to be able to offer state of the art video capabilities and maybe even A/V tech staff to assist with hybrid events.
