We’re a year into what we never thought could ever happen. When will we return to face-to-face meetings? What will “Normal” look like? Why are you asking us? Do you think we just sit around our offices with a crystal ball? What are we some sort of Miracle Workers?
Well, yes, we are but even with those credentials, we can’t predict the future. What we can do is do our best to predict what might happen when we go back to in-person meetings. That includes liability protection, should we require vaccinations, what about the other groups in the venue. And we have barely even touched on our awesome new coffee cups...
Takeaways:
1: There’s no right answer about WHEN we are safe to return to in-person
2: Insert yourself as a part of the discussion about returning in person
3: Have an honest conversation with your venue about room 2 space, health practices, and financials BEFORE you make a decision
4: Just because you’re meeting safely, there’s no guarantee about those around you . You almost need to be doubly safe
5. Derrick Johnson, because we haven’t mentioned him yet today, and I don’t want his feelings to get hurt.
