Spent the last week in paradise producing 24 exceptional events with this fine crew. So satisfying to watch a year of planning come together for the second and to see and hear happy guests and talent. A huge kudos to the entire staff!! You cannot find a more dedicated, passionate, and kinder group of people anywhere. The art of hospitality is alive and thriving here. (Alex S. not pictured here but big part of CREaM this week.)

Our friends at Worldredeye captured the year's Ice Cream We Love at Bal Harbour Shops perfectly. We've enjoyed producing this crowd favorite event since year one...it has its fair share of excellent ice cream and a huge dose of guest smiles, young and old alike. If you make great ice cream, reach out to us for inclusion in 2023. And if you simply love eating ice cream, join us next time.

Sharing some thoughts on the live events business...where we find ourselves and where we're heading. We will be back and patience will be our greatest asset.

‘New normal’ and ‘pivot’ are terms that have been regularly tossed around ever since COVID-19 found its way onto America’s shores. They underscore the efforts businesses make to change their current operations in order to survive.

Gabrielle Hamilton's beautiful writing strikes again as she pulls back the curtain on her personal and professional struggle with Covid-19's effect on the Manhattan restaurant scene and the often overlooked challenges small business restaurant owners face. If you enjoy restaurant dining, take a read of this and let it sink in.

"Many times, friends and family are surprised to learn the vast encompassing nature of the live events and business meetings industry and all it entails, so it is no surprise that the media has given little coverage to the economic devastation that has already begun to transpire. Many people don’t realize the vast number of roles and jobs in our industry including meeting planners, account executives, sales, warehouse managers, producers, project managers, drivers, operations managers, executives, administrative staff, technicians, stage hands, general labor and service workers along with many more that work behind scenes to bring people and businesses together everyday of the year never ceasing 24/7, until now...

Currently, the live events and business meetings industry is in free fall and headed toward a complete collapse with no end in sight. There are already strong ripples of this impact to the transportation and hospitality industry (hotels, conference centers, restaurants etc.) that rely on our industry which have received media and governmental attention, but no mention of the larger losses that are reaching into the billions and billions of dollars, and continuing to climb by the minute, in the live events and business meetings industry."
