So That Just Happened...
I was there! Were you?
Just a few days ago ILEA Toronto held our first event of this season. It was a great chat by Sean Low on how to really charge for your creativity versus production. Knowing your real value and how to work with clients.
If you were there and missed a few things, not to worry, I am sending out a recap email very soon. If you were not there and want to know more (and not on our email list) shoot me an email at [email protected] and I will send it directly to you.
Stay tuned for our next event coming really, really soon!

We know what you are thinking...and no, this is not just another round table talking about the future landscape of events!
This is a conversation about taking actual steps to prepare yourself to deliver events in a post-covid world.
Pause for a moment, have you REALLY thought about what that means?
Do you have your registration process ready?
Have you considered contract tracing?
Have you thought about filtration systems?
How about managing traffic and crowds?
How are the various teams involved reporting?
How do you respectfully ask an attendee to leave an event for violating rules?
These are all valid questions and Kevin White, Chief Strategist at XPL (and former ILEA International President) is someone who has extensive knowledge of exactly what this means and how we, as an event community, can be best prepared to deliver safe experiences for our clients and guests in the very near future.
Make the most of NOW and join us on April 13 as we get prepared to bounce back, stronger than ever!
ABOUT THE PRESENTER

Good news is that you can and Lara gives you “thought-starters” that you can apply to your business immediately.
