What Re-Opening Our Events May Look Like and How to Prepare Now for Maximum Success |
|
Thursday, January 28, 2021
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. MST
Presented by:
Jeff English, CFEE, General Counsel
CLARK Material Handling Company, Lexington, KY
In the midst of many challenges that we still do not yet control, it is important that we do everything possible to proactively lead, drive and map where we are headed. Understanding that the future will include many new expectations, it is important that we start preparing now for when we may be able to reopen our festivals and events. This committee began to define the new expectations that all events can use to overlay with their formally ‘normal’ events, with the goal of reimagining how you might put those expectations into place and prepare for the effects they may have on operational plans, as well as financial and human resources.

The When, Why and How Considerations Behind
Re-Presenting a Postponed or Cancelled Event
|
|
Thursday, February 4, 2021
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. MST
Presented by:
Jeff Curtis, CEO
Portland Rose Festival Foundation, Portland, OR
Alison Baringer English, Executive Director
North Carolina Azalea Festival, Wilmington, NC
|
As events of all sizes, budgets and histories are placed in the previously unimagined position of having to postpone and/or cancel those events, due to local, state, regional or national COVID-19 safety restrictions, how do we effectively Re-Present those same events to protect our brands, help drive revenues, protect sponsorship values, support our communities, and/or meet other stakeholder obligations. And, acknowledging likely finite staff and fiscal resources, should we? This committee addressed the important considerations involved in assessing next best steps and selected examples of what seems to be working for others reinventing their own wheel. |

Don’t just plan your next event, Re-Imagine it! We are living in a new day and time when nothing is assumed and the traditional way is the old way. Take a step back from the usually, get your head out of your old spreadsheet, throw away the signs that you have used for years and revisit all aspects of your event. If you are going to put on your event, do it with innovation, imagination and trendsetting behaviors!

Festivals – The Drivers to Re-Connecting Our Communities |
|
Thursday, February 18, 2021
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. MST
Presented by:
Keli O'Neill Wenzel, CFEE, President/CEO
O'Neill Marketing & Event Management

Stephen King, CFEE, Executive Director
Des Moines Arts Festival, Des Moines, IA

Perhaps one of the most positive outcomes of this global pandemic, has been the (re)opening of doors/conversations with many community stakeholders that we may have lost touch with, or never thought to work in partnership with before. We know what our events contribute to our respective communities and that is usually one of the primary personal drivers/rewards for those in our industry. This committee addressed how our events/organizations might lead the efforts to keep our communities bonded during these difficult times, to ensure the long-term health of all events, and how we might work more closely with our cities, other events and organizations, volunteers, artists and vendors, sponsors, et al. to help all of our communities come through this storm stronger and keep all of our events financially secure and healthy. |
