We’re back for another week with another exciting episode of #EventIcons! And we’re excited to be discussing how small event companies can pivot in order to survive the pandemic. Because this has probably been the craziest time ever in our industry. Thousands of event profs saw their projects canceled or postponed within days.

Back in July, I hosted a week-long Instagram Live series with Heidi Legein, Managing Director at The MICE Guru , a destination management company (DMC) based in Norway. During the past months of the lockdown, Heidi has been actively promoting her destination and inspiring and educating fellow event professionals about Norway. She has also felt encouraged to keep thinking about international travel and ensure that events are still being planned, rather than cancelling them.

Everything is set for your virtual corporate event: the speakers and sessions are lined up, you’ve planned your event breaks, networking, and entertainment. You’ve even instilled a bit of gamification into your event that will get your attendees moving, interacting, and smiling ear to ear. And, as an added bonus, you’ve signed up tons of companies with products and services relevant to your meeting’s industry for a virtual exhibit hall that will knock your attendees’ socks off.

Here are my current thoughts about COVID-19, hybrid meetings, and the future. Earlier this year I wrote : Unfortunately, it currently looks like one potential short-term improvement outcome, containment , will not be successful. In the long-term, however, the current turmoil caused by the spread of COVID-19 is likely to subside. The development and introduction of an effective and affordable vaccine may bring the virus under control.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people felt the economic consequences. And few industries have felt this impact quite like the events industry did. Many event profs found themselves jobless overnight. But on the opposite side of the spectrum, those that chose to embrace the virtual landscape began growing their business. Companies that fall into this category are now hiring in order to answer the demand of the virtual market.

Does your Meeting have a Risk Management Plan? Event professionals often consider themselves the masters of detail and organization. Some may even call planners perfectionists.
