Would you want the option to livestream an established industry event from your home or office?
Most of the respondents would want the option to livestream an established industry events from their home or office.
“Whenever I hear mention of canceling hospitality industry events, I have to pause before responding—mostly because I passionately believe, as hoteliers and associated professionals, we have to exhibit confidence in the entire travel industry and actively support it if we want others to do the same. That said, I also recognize attendance for many events, including hospitality, will likely be negatively impacted this year due to state/local restrictions on group sizes, restrictions on travel between states, the financial strain the pandemic has put on businesses and individuals, and the ongoing health risks/concerns. Given the current state of the industry, it’s important to connect with others to gain greater insight and share best practices, so if the option is to ‘miss’ the event due to current circumstances or livestream, I would be in favor of a livestream.”
