After 14 months of COVID-19, the world is ready for the proper start to the Roaring 20’s. According to a recent survey, 81 percent of meeting planners will hold their next in-person event sometime in 2021, with 59 percent of those events scheduled to take place in the second half of 2021.

In-person events are back! Over the last several weeks, we’ve been re-entering the world of physical events, and we’re happy to report that it’s going very well so far! This certainly isn’t a coincidence, however. We’ve allocated extensive time toward creating safety frameworks to ensure we can keep the party going while keeping everyone safe at the same time.

We don’t know exactly when the time will be right to make a full return to hosting grand scale physical events regularly. We do know that physical events are absolutely possible with specific safety planning. – right now.

It has now been an entire year since the initial shutdown of 2020. Throughout that time, we’ve kept our hopes high and have adapted to navigate through times of uncertainty. Finally, a year later, it’s really starting to feel like hope is ramping up across the entire party planning industry

This year’s Serata Virtuale Evening in the Stacks was an overwhelming success! Check out our full event recap.

The way we gather for events has changed a lot because of COVID. Take a behind the scenes look at how we retooled our event teams for virtual events.
