In the first of a series of posts on The Next Normal of Meetings, we will discuss the most important factor in getting back to business, the health and safety of your guests.

Above and beyond hotel and meeting venue safety protocols, we employ best practices that prioritize health and safety in all aspects of the meeting experience. More than ever, the role of a meeting planner is essential to ensure that all of the latest CDC and WHO guidance is followed when planning a hybrid or eventually, traditional face-to-face event. Some of the established safety protocols we are already incorporating include:

Individually wrapped microphones
Temperature checks before entrance to the meeting room Full pre-meeting mitigation and attendance waivers
Meeting room and meal function space social distancing set up
Meeting room and meal function space cleaning and ionizing in line with industry standards
Food and beverage safety (no buffets, covered plates, coffee station attendants)
Contactless onsite registration and paperless meeting materials
PPE to include facemasks, hand sanitizer, safe distance floor guides and plastic sneeze guards

We also work with your team and our tech experts to design the safest, most efficient and economically feasible socially distant floor plan to your meeting attendees can feel safe and comfortable in any meeting space.
