  2. WiththeonsetoftheCovidpandemic,wehavebeenfindingallthepossiblemethods of connecting virtually. When most of the world entered into isolation, we were left with no option rather than swarming with virtual events. Everything was strictly throughvirtualmediaplatformsfromsalesmeetingstoeducation,personnel connections to marriages, business interactions to product launches. Several event planners and organizers were seriously keen on getting people registered for the events and ensuring that the participants were never bored to just drop out of sessionsatrandom.Accessibleshowsandeventshavebeentheirtoppriority. We all think Covid is eventually going to disappear. Now that we are getting back to our normal, the events industry and companies are focussing on planning safer in-person meetings or events. That’s how the virtual events industry anticipated and planned transformations accordingly. These virtual events slowly transformedwith the ever- changing pandemic landscape into hybrid events. Hybrid events are a blendoflivein-personeventsandvirtualcomponents.Both complementeachother.

No amount of sophisticated technology can replace a real,face-to-face connection. Face-to-face events are more personal as you get to interact with a lot of people.

  5. PLANSMALLEREVENTSANDGATHERINGS Invite less number of people to your events. Understand that people have briefly been in the era of the virtual events, and they would be absolutely choosy and reluctant to attend in-person events even though they wish to attend one. Smaller gatherings enable you to focus on each and every participant and attend to all their queries spontaneously. Many organizers strive their best to organize quality eventswithjustahandfulofattendees.Asmallgroupofattendeesis considered a safe gathering.

  6. PROTOCOLSFORTRAVELERS Analyze the benefits and risks associated with the travel plans. Explain it toyour attendees. Avoid thetravel ofpeople who may have other medical conditions like diabetes, heart, and lung diseases. Isolate people who have crossed national and international boundaries and check for Covid symptoms. Ensure to limit their contact with other people after travel. If your attendees exhibit Covid symptoms, provide them with self- test kits that give rapid results. If they are Covid positive, immediately contact a certified medical professional. Look for other symptoms and, if necessary,askthemtoavoidsocializing.

  11. FOODANDBEVERAGEDISTRIBUTION As in-person event restrictions ease up, lately, food and beverages have been included. Hotels and caterers are coming up with several ideas to prevent contactless delivery to in-person sessions. Buffets are one of those things that are difficult to continue post Covid as people keep repeatedly touching plates, serving bowls, spoons, and other cutlery. It is difficult to disinfect them every time a person uses them. Instead, prepare separate food packets and distribute them using volunteers or caterers. Use disposable plates, tissues, cutlery, andwaterbottles.Haveseparateclosedbinstodisposeofallthese.

Provide them with simple medications likeparacetamol/acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or aspirin. As already mentioned, provide them with the rapid testing kits and ask them for their underlying comorbidity. Work closely with your local public health authority to avoid the worst unexpected situations. Have a plan to transfer them to a health facility safely.
