"It’s difficult to identify only one takeaway. The class information has been incredibly comprehensive with knowledge, resources, real-time examples, and next step templates. I would say the greatest takeaway, as a supplier, is the ability to create internal protocols and consult on best-case design logic and safety guidelines for our clients. This course has given me the tools, templates, and solutions to begin creating training SOP’s, determine staff COVID certifications, education tactics, and updating our existing Duty of Care document. Thank you for this amazing course!”

Program Overview
While risk has always been a part of our events, the novel coronavirus pandemic has tested all assumptions we have made on risk planning as an industry. As events start to come back into live formats, rethinking the on-site event strategy and design is critical not only to surviving in the short-term but creating a sustainable model for the future. The Pandemic Meeting & Event Certificate powered by the Event Leadership Institute will assess the current environment and map new ways to prepare your event strategy, design, execution, and evaluation – no matter what comes next. From risk management to venue protocols; contract clauses to user experience; food and beverage to marketing, we cover the areas most impacted by the pandemic to help you develop and design well-informed, future-forward events.
