When Texas ended its mask mandate, the event cancellations started — and the losses are adding up

WOW! Good news to know for event planners. Sad but true.

https://www.texastribune.org/2021/03/25/conventions-texas-mask-mandate/

At least four conferences were canceled in Austin because of the lack of a statewide mask mandate. The cancellations have caused the Hilton Austin hotel to lose out on $350,000 of revenue, according to Austin Convention Enterprises.

Such a powerful article about bringing Mindfulness into meeting, conferences, and events. It is something to not only help your clients or attendees as a planner, but it can also help the actual event planner planning these events.

The Pavilion served as a networking hub and site for mini-seminars such as Millennial Mimosas, Females Entrepreneur Meetup, Makers’ Bazaar, Bookkeeping Buds, and more.

“C’MON AND TAKE A FREE RIDE!”

Hello Friends,

I know there are a lot event planners / wedding planners that have clients that come to Austin for various events / weddings and guest often ask about using the Austin public transportation as an alternative to renting a car.
