These are based on emerging trends, successful pivots and examples of the creativity that’s currently redefining our industry. Though many large-scale events continue to be postponed or canceled, an overwhelmingly larger number have decided to persist. And to the victors go the spoils—or, in this case, audience share— as we are still seeing very high attendee and engagement numbers. With each iteration of this report, we’re tracking a collective shift, watching event strategists become savvier in this new, remote world. We are no longer putting lipstick on the proverbial pig by taking an in-person event and plopping it into a digital platform. There is a thoughtful transformation happening and the creation of content-rich, vivid, interactive experiences presented through a multi-channel broadcast and enjoyed best via a digital platform. And it’s time to look ahead at what next year may bring. I believe that we’ll start to see in-person events resume—perhaps in late spring or summer—but these will come in the form of highly- curated, small events and experiences.
