Long Road to Recovery: COVID’s Impacts on the Events Sector
July 7 | 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET
As the economy slowly reopens, issues and challenges will continue to persist in the hardest hit sectors.
The events sector is expected to be one of the last sectors to reopen and recover, and the ongoing impacts are being felt not only in the events sector but also in other sectors that work very closely alongside this sector. With uncertainty around when professional and personal events can return, and what capacity limits will be, businesses will continue to grapple with challenges over the summer, fall, and beyond.
