Hello Community members!
What a year 2020 has been, right? While we have seen many hardships, our industry is looking towards the future and ready to come back stronger than ever. To do so, our event and hospitality professionals must partner together more than ever before. You may have started planning future in-person events from the event side and preparing your venue from the hospitality side, or maybe you are just beginning to discuss this within your organization. Whatever stage you may be at, we want you to be prepared to plan, host, and execute safer in-person events. Our planners will have new experiences, and our venues will have new experiences, but together we can align and bring everyone back to the experiences we love – the power of live and being together!
On Thursday, October 29th at 11AM-12PM ET, we'll be hosting a real-time Ask the Expert here in the Community Open Forum. This Ask the Expert session will allow both event and hospitality professionals to learn best practices and get your critical questions answered from experienced planners and suppliers. Share your questions or even ideas for planning, hosting, and execute safer in-person events. . Katie Yearby, Vice President of Account Management and Enterprise Relationships at
