2020 and Beyond

As we venture through this unique year, we are starting to realize that some things in the event industry will be (or should be) different moving forward. We see this as a good thing. It provides an opportunity to step back for a moment - to reinvent and reimagine the ways things are done in the industry and what is truly possible. Instead of doing something "because that's the way it's done" or "the way we've always done it", we now have the unique opportunity to be at the forefront of creation and the beginning of something brand new. As events begin to return, take the time to reinvent and imagine them into what attendees are looking for and need today.

As a reminder, we love the extreme virtual events that have been publicized the past few weeks, but feel that they don't connect with most planners and their actual needs. Over the next few weeks, we are going to share with you examples of "real world" virtual events. Hopefully, they motivate you, help give you ideas, or even provide a bit of hope if needed.

Retreats and Working Groups:

We have worked with several clients to design collaborative work groups so regular group meetings and retreats can continue while we are separated. For privacy concerns, we will not be naming these groups or showing actual screenshots from the events.

Event Info:

• Years Virtual: None (First Time!)
• Live Event: 1/2 day - 2 days
• About: Various Small Group Meetings, Working Breakouts, and Retreats
• Platform: No fancy bells and whistles for these meetings. They were all about work. During these meetings and retreats, attendees were able to participate in whole group meetings (video and chat), multiple small group work sessions (video and chat), collaborate on documents in real time, working together as they would at a live table.
