It’s a content-driven world out there. As a matter of fact, there are very few facets of our lives that are not somehow tied to the ever-lasting art of storytelling. Yes, everyone wants to create great content – marketers, writers, astronauts, and, of course, event planners. Delivering educational and relevant material to an actively engaged audience has never been as important as it is now.

Many businesses found themselves pivoting in 2020, and the need for clear, effective marketing was as important as ever.

Destination Analysts reports that despite feeling safer and increasingly more positive, many Americans do expect a longer term impact from the pandemic on their travel, from spending less to sticking outdoors. New COVID variants, uncertainty on the current COVID vaccines’ effectiveness with such variants, a European third wave, and Spring Break rowdiness made headlines this week, likely contributing to a small but notable rise in pandemic-related anxiety among American travelers.

The hospitality industry was among those that suffered the most because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, the hotel occupancy in the US dropped to its lowest level ever — the bewildering 24.5 percent. The annual average was roughly 44 percent, which means that more than half of hotel rooms were empty during the whole year. To survive the crisis, hoteliers have to take measures, i.e., prioritize cleaning procedures, adopt contactless technologies — and reconsider their distribu

It’s Thursday, which means it’s time to get your favorite brew and join the Event Brew crew as they talk about yet another subject of debate in the exciting new world of virtual events. They put their heads together and tried to answer the following question: are virtual events really more inclusive and accessible? As always, the answer to the question is complex, but our hosts succeeded to tackle it from various perspectives.

Can meeting hosts ask about vaccinations or require negative Covid tests? Yes, but there’s a lot to understand before you do. Rewind to January 2020. We did not wear masks; we did not answer questions about where we had traveled in the last 14 days; we did not tell complete strangers whether we had experienced a fever, chills, a cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms in the last 2 to 14 days; and we certainly did not have our temperatures taken to enter restaurants, stores, movie theaters

For most organizations, fundraising season is a nickname that’s been given to the last few months at the end of the year when most annual donations are made. For these same organizations, this period of time can be make or break. And when once a pandemic is added on top of this, the season can be even tougher to navigate. If the 2021 fundraising season is your first time planning events or working with a professional planner, keep some of these ideas in mind.

It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for #EventIcons! For weeks, we have been discussing virtual and hybrid events, engagement strategies, and all kinds of other pandemic-related issues. Today, it’s time for something different, but just as relevant: we will talk about diversity in events as of 2021. The conversations around diversity are quickly gaining traction, but it’s important we implement the changes rather than disregard them when they’re not hot anymore.

We spend too much time distracting ourselves from what matters. Distraction is fine, up to a point. But when we spend two trillion dollars annually on entertainment, I’d say we are well beyond that point. As Seth Godin puts it: Marvel spent $400,000,000 to make Avengers: Endgame. Because there was a business model in place that made it a reasonable investment choice.

The Employer of Choice Trifecta: Culture, Purpose & Employer Brand. Spring is in the air. In addition to the rampant anticipation of more sunlight and better weather, I’ve noticed something else taking root: optimism. Optimism about the “next normal” of this pandemic and what it will bring to people around the world. But as exciting as it is to think about a world much more familiar to the one we knew prior to 2020, it’s raising some hard questions about the future for employers, too.

While vaccines continue to mitigate health risks, there is a bullish case for continuing remote office work. Companies save on real estate and overhead, while virtual offices offer an unlimited labor pool. Employees enjoy less commute time and geographical flexibility. A candidate’s home location no longer drives the job application process. The great experiment of 2020 has been a relative success.
