As many countries announce the easing of lockdown measures, many event professionals wonder when we will meet again. Technology will make some events possible. Here is an overview of what to keep an eye on.

The most pressing question on event professionals’ minds is what events will look like once the lockdowns have been lifted. We explore some potential scenarios of the aftermath of Covid-19.

When will the event industry recover from the coronavirus? When is it safe to schedule your event? Here is a forecast of when things will go back to normal.

Eventbrite announced yesterday that it was letting go 45% of its staff. What does it mean for the delicate balance of the event technology sector? 

Germany is carrying out one of the largest research projects on how the coronavirus spreads. The provisional results discuss the role of events on spreading the virus and depict what the next six to nine months will look like.

If you have been in the event industry long enough, you may remember striking similarities between the lead up to the financial crisis in 2008 and the Coronavirus emergency. Will the industry react in the same way or will things change for good?

While communities are rallying together to defeat the COVID-19 outbreak, there are also a number of companies enforcing unjustified layoffs, charging crazy cancellation fees, and not processing refunds for unused products.

Last week was undeniably one of the toughest on record for the event industry. Is there light at the end of the tunnel? 

First the Mobile World Congress, then Cisco, then Facebook. Large events are being canceled around the world over fears of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Is this wave of cancellations justified or is it just an overreaction?
