Gearing up for the week!

Who is ready to bring this level of enthusiasm into your Monday?? 😂

We love this photo. It’s from a fundraising event we produced and this is what happened when they hit their goal. Look at that passion and joy!

We hope all of you bring this kind of energy into your life and you love what you do :)

We truly love what we do and we are thankful we get to create experiences that have such impact on our clients and the people who attend our events.

Xoxo

Before COVID-19, the live events industry employed 12 million people. Today, nearly 80% of us are unemployed. While you miss attending events, we still miss a paycheck - stability to provide for our families. Our industry's businesses are urgently in need of relief. Our lives remain PAUSED.

We were the first to shut down, and will be the last to return. We are not looking for a handout, we need a lifeline.

🎙️
Next week marks ONE YEAR since the event industry shut down in DC, MD & VA. “We have put the energy and research behind how to reopen safely, we have taken the time to share this with you, now we ask that you listen and share with us, your plan for reopening.”

Here’s how we can do this safely!

* The events industry is prepared to re-open while following all COVID-19 compliance guidelines from the city.

* Most venues, planning/producing companies, and catering companies have a COVID compliance officer on staff.

* Venues have made adaptations of their facilities to accommodate reopening guidelines.

* All vendors have adapted to accommodate COVID-19 compliance guidelines.

* The events industry is inherently creative and will introduce event adaptations to fit the new guidelines.

We are ready and willing to do whatever it takes!

WE NEED GUIDANCE! 🖐️ PLEASE SHARE.

Happy Hanukkah!

The celebration of Hanukkah includes a variety of religious and nonreligious customs. The most important of all is the lighting of the menorah, a candelabra with eight branches plus a holder for the shammash (“servant”) candle that is used to light the other eight candles.
