It’s challenging times now, something which humanity never predicted. A lot of industries have been affected due to lockdowns, restrictions and containment zones by governments across the world. The event management industry is one of them, in fact, one of the most affected ones.
The functioning of events has changed over the years. Events have always been of great significance with the primary aim of bringing together people and entertaining them. However, events have changed over time and are not the same as they were a decade back.
2020 has been crazy, even more for event organizers and attendees because it was painful to see their favourite events get cancelled one after the other. But technology has always helped us adapt to situations and figure out an alternative without losing much on the original.
Virtual living is now a reality. With a global pandemic in our midst, our way of living, of interacting, of communicating have all seen a change so unprecedented, that it could hamper everything we did. The Event Industry especially was hit the hardest but has sprung up to action with ideas as innovative as Virtual Conferences.
We have now just entered into 2021, and despite all that most of the companies in this industry have been through the last year, we would still consider the year 2020 to be wholesome. There was a lot to process during the year 2020 and, at the same time, so much to learn. One thing that we learned from the crises last year was how to remain resilient.
If there is one particular thing that we learned about the events industry, anything is possible. The lifeline of the events industry is its people. Everything that the industry is because of human interaction and people coming together for one common purpose to connect.
You may have heard somewhere or from someone that it will be a while until large live events could be a thing again. With so many restrictions and preventative measures to quell the effects of COVID-19 worldwide, virtual events became the new norm for the event industry.
