STATE OF EVENTS: VOL.1 - 

WHAT'S TRENDING IN EVENTS

June 23, 2021


With venues reopening and guests becoming more and more comfortable gathering with other people, the last few weeks have seen a surge in events. During the warm summer months, outdoor events are the most popular event type, but indoor events have been upgraded from “rare” to “pretty common, see you there!” As event requests come in, event planners have had to get creative with accommodating groups in a way that makes the event both enjoyable and comfortable for all guests.

In this month’s volume of  State of Events,  we outline what event types are trending, what we have upcoming, and give a sneak peek at some long-term prospecting. As employees return to the office, corporate celebrations are some of the most popular gatherings, and planners are taking advantage of the warm weather with outdoor celebrations featuring live music, food, and games for all guests.
