Key Takeaways

• When you don’t know the answers, it’s helpful to look at what the smart people who are paying attention are saying.
• When we are able to meet in-person again, it’s likely to look very different from what we are used to, and we’ll have to make adjustments.
• Now is the time to build up your skills: virtual, hygiene, storytelling, production, selling.
• We need to think about sponsorship in a new way, not just ROI on dollars, but ROI on relationships, experience, and solving problems together.
• We not only will survive this, but we have the opportunity to reinvent our approach to events, and make the experience better for everyone.
