Cancelling Events Does Not Mean Cancelling Relationships
Bruce Erley, CFEE, APR, President & CEO
Creative Strategies Group, Denver, CO
And the Gold Pinnacle for the “Best Cancellation of an Event” goes to… No one in our industry has ever seen anything like this before. After we emerge from the Five Stages of Grief what can we say we have learned? Since March, CSG has had to manage and renegotiate dozens of sponsorships in the midst of postponements, rescheduling and the cancellation of consumer shows, festivals, bike rides, conferences and concert venue seasons. Along the way, we’ve learned a great deal and discovered a number of strategies to preserve and potentially grow sponsor relationships even as we cancel events.

Technology & Events: Planning for the Best and Preparing for the Worst
Cassie Dispenza
Senior Director of Marketing & Partnerships
Saffire, Austin, TX
Part of what makes it so hard to plan events right now is that it’s impossible to know what the world may look like by the time your event date comes. Will you be able to have an event? If it happens, what will be the requirements? If I plan for my event, and then it gets canceled, how will I execute the cancellation and plan to take my event online? Luckily, technology affords us so many opportunities that we wouldn’t have had if we were in this situation even 5 or 10 years ago. Join us as we cover some of the creative ways we’ve seen events adapt and what you can do to plan for your event in the future, regardless of what challenges it may bring.
