Reconnect 2020 will be a model for safe and engaging event design in a COVID-19 world. BC Event Management has incorporated every possible safety measure into the event design.

  • Throughout the massive venue will be floor signage indicating the location of networking bubbles where guests can interact with each other at a safe distance.

  • Every crew and staff will adorn personal protective equipment and hand sanitization stations will be located throughout the venue.

INFORMATION AND WELLBEING LINKS

We have a COVID19 information and wellbeing links page on our website that may be of interest.
The BCHF is a charity that supports hospitality workers facing financial crisis due to a health condition. These are the people who work in your favourite restaurants, wineries, breweries, bars, and hotels. Often with limited access to benefits or financial aid, our beneficiaries have nowhere else to turn if a health condition arises. Your support has a meaningful impact by getting them back on their feet again.
