Epic charter school prom 202112/3/2023 (It’s also sort of fun to say that Andy Cohen was in my guest bedroom, and I was hanging out in his living room….virtually…). These events being produced during the height of ‘lock down,’ it was interesting (and kind of exciting) to be virtually invited into the homes of politicians and national journalists, of the scientists that helped inform the Netflix film, ‘ The Social Dilemma,’ the living rooms of Olympic Athletes, Movie Producers, and Television Personalities, and be a fly on the wall of conversations being had by people who are really moving the needle forward in destigmatizing mental health.

Jumping back to June of 2020 (you know, when this pandemic was still only a few months old…), and after upskilling with a certificate in Virtual Event and Meeting Management, you’ll see we actively put into practice the advice given in our last blog post, ‘Virtual Events: The Pandemic Pivot.’ The Kennedy Forum Illinois While we’re at it, we’ll totally point the finger at all the gremlins that decided to show up (uninvited) over the past couple of years including guilt, doubt, imposter syndrome, complacency, depression, grief, and fear of a world turned upside down – and trust, those are some ugly and very real gremlins.įortunately, we have no time (or desire) to sit in the blame game when we have so many incredible events and experiences that we’ve quietly worked on over these past couple of years and let fly under the radar. We can also blame being too busy executing events with a skeletal staff and unbelievably short lead times. Okay, we get it – it’s been over two years since you last heard from us… we can totally blame the pandemic and the complete disruption to the events industry creating a void of interesting things to talk about.
