Two events industry influencers, Dustin Westling CSEP of OneWest Events and our very own Will Curran of Endless Events, are going to walk you through what you need to be thinking of when producing a virtual event from the strategy to the content to the technology.

To our ILEA Arizona Family,

The escalating COVID-19 outbreak has hit our community hard as events across the globe are being canceled in response to the recent announcements from the CDC. This is an exceptionally difficult time as event professionals are facing uncertainty about the future.

We hope you know that the ILEA community is here for you whether it’s finding resources, networking, or using this time to dedicate towards professional development.

In a letter to all members, ILEA International President, Jennifer Trethewey, CSEP, announced we will have several webinars this week to gather as a membership to discuss the impacts of COVID-19, share resources, discuss legal considerations and regain an important sense of togetherness.

Dear ILEA Family and colleagues,

It has been an unprecedented week around the world due to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). The spread of the virus continues to impact the experiential industry with cancellations and postponements of upcoming special events, conferences, sport gatherings and concerts to name a few categories.

This has had an impact on the businesses and lives of our members. As the global situation evolves, we as an organization continue to monitor, hour by hour, the happenings around the world. Our members and their families and teams are consistently on our minds. With that, we have a few key updates to give you here.

Next week, we had intended to gather our members for our quarterly Townhalls to outline updates on several key strategic initiatives like CSEP and ILEA Live. Given the state of our industry today and the likelihood of evolving information in the coming days, we have decided to postpone these topics until a later date.

Instead, we will use next week’s townhall timeslots to gather as a membership to discuss the impacts of COVID-19, share resources, discuss legal considerations and regain an important sense of togetherness. Please watch for information going out on Monday about how to be a part of these moderated conversations.

Next Week’s ILEA International Online Forums:

Tuesday March 17

Topic: COVID-19: Legal Strategies for Meetings
Approach: This presentation will be given by Jeff Tenenbaum, experiences association and non-profit lawyer. We will allow time for Q&A following.
Time: 2pm PT / 3pm MT / 4pm CT / 5pm ET
*Note – this webinar was originally scheduled for Tuesday March 24 @ 10am PT and will now take place on March 17.

Wednesday March 18

Topic: The Community: Persisting and Rebuilding Together Approach: This moderated forum is intended to bring ILEA members together as a community to discuss strategies and mindsets needed in order to recover and rebuild quickly as an industry.
Moderators: Jennifer Trethewey CSEP, ILEA President and Sara Grauf CSEP, ILEA International Immediate Past President
Time: 10am PT / 11am MT / 12pm CT / 1pm ET

Regarding in-person chapter meetings and events, we as an organization are asking all chapters to postpone in-person ILEA chapter meetings until otherwise notified by Headquarters. We encourage chapters to move meeting content to online forums such as webinars. Thank you to chapter sponsors and businesses who aid in this

process of rearranging and thanks to you, the membership, for understanding this approach.

Our priorities, in tandem, are to help flatten the curve of spreading this virus and to continue to foster this wonderful community.

Many ILEA chapters have taken the initiative to host digital forums related to COVID-19 creating a safe place for ILEA members and event profs world-wide to gather and converse over the coming days and weeks. Check in with your local chapters for those opportunities to connect and tap into resources.

Finally, please know that we have an ILEA leadership team dedicated to focusing on the impending recovery phase following the impacts of this virus and how we can support our members and industry as we transition. While we continue to follow the facts, we as your ILEA leadership team are committed to remaining positive and focused on creating an optimistic outlook for the future of our industry.

It will take time and calculated responses to get back to where we were, but the power of community will enable us.

Take care. Be well. Keep informed with the facts and remember: we are We are all in this together.
