The quaint municipality of Prince Edward County is known for it’s wineries, restaurants, festivals, Sandbanks, and one of the nicest beaches in Canada! With the county being a short hop, skip and a jump away from the GTA, it’s no wonder it’s becoming an increasingly popular wedding hub. If you’re looking to have more of a “destination” wedding but would like to avoid the hassle of having to hop on a plane, Prince Edward County may be exactly what you’re

After a year of virtual events, surely we’ve learned a thing or two about how to help transport participants glued to their screens to actual physical places and spaces and how to engage their senses. In other words, how to connect digital attendees to the physical world.

Digital events have eliminated the fear of missing out from attendees’ minds, according to MeetingPlay CEO Joe Schwinger. But hybrid events are a way to reintroduce FOMO. As the vaccine rollout continues, hybrid meetings are being seen as the way forward for the industry, but there is no one-size-fits-all solution. And they bring their own share of challenges, as the results of the latest Convene COVID-19 Recovery Dashboard demonstrate.

Michelle Russell. In March, an artist who goes by the name Beeple sold a piece of art for $69.3 million at an auction. It wasn’t an original painting that you can hang on your wall or a sculpture that would nicely set off your foyer. It exists as a non-fungible token-based (NFT) artwork, a one-of-a-kind digital piece that lives on a blockchain, which means that its ownership can be verified.

Digital marketplaces can do more than mitigate the vulnerability of the physical event, they can redefine and grow our proposition to the communities we serve. If we learned anything from our experience of 2020-21, it’s that placing all our eggs in one basket comes with a high degree of risk. An ‘events first’ strategy can leave us unable to provide adequate service for our clients if physical gatherings and international travel are forbidden due to a global pandemic, local instability or other

Much like Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) had to prove to his sports star, Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding) in the 1996 film Jerry Maguire, exhibit and sponsorship managers are having to show their organizations (and their clients – exhibitors and sponsors) the “money” or value in a virtual world.

By Paul Scholey, Senior VP International and GM, BlueJeans by Verizon. As restrictions ease over the summer, I’m certainly eager to get back into live events and networking. This past year, however, many events managers learned a valuable lesson: for some people virtual is the best – or only – option. Virtual events give access to people who too often get left behind, including those experiencing disabilities, those in remote locations, and introverts.

Recently at Skiddle, we have taken the action to block ticket downloads until 24 hours before the event. This is to help to combat ticket touting and unauthorised duplication of tickets. If customers receive their tickets as soon as they pay for them, this leaves the tickets open to being sold/exchanged on third party touting websites and potentially leaving you out of pocket with tickets sold on at extortionate prices.
