In our recent article, 2020 Silver Linings and 2021 Outlook from Vendors, we caught up with several members who were able to adjust the way they do business to find success amongst the many changes that 2020 brought to the events industry. Each member’s greatest lesson, silver lining, and forward-looking goal was inspiring.

Upon reflecting on last year and identifying new goals for this one, these members also shared their #1 tip and piece of advice for others booking in 2021. 

2020 was a challenging and unpredictable year to say the least, but it also came with new learnings and opportunities. To help vendors grow and move forward in 2021, we want to reflect on and celebrate the positive moments that the past year has brought—no matter how big or small.

We caught up with several of our members to learn about their 2020 silver linings, lessons learned, and goals for this year. Here's what they had to say!

In 2020, many events were rescheduled, postponed, changed to a virtual or contactless format, or cancelled.

Heading into 2021, we know vendors will continue to be resilient and innovative as safe celebrations increase.
