Every in-person event has three things: people, a program, and of course, a place. But what will gathering look like in a Covid world? This is perhaps the biggest question producers, corporations, non-profits and certainly, VENUES are pondering as we try to move forward during the next 12-18 months. It is a question the experiential industry needs to take control of and provide the solutions so that we bring events back up to speed safely. This discussion will take several turns. First, we will look at the science of cleaning in a virus-spreading world. Then, we will engage venue managers from large to small to see how they are developing new protocols to ensure guest safety in uncertain times. Finally, we will look at what all of this means for the future of event design which is very much venue-dependent.
Learning Outcomes:
- Establish the scientific minimums of “clean” in a pandemic state
- Learn what strategies venues are currently considering to reopen
- Develop a realistic outlook for event spatial design and pricing for the future
