With "Shelter in Place" in effect in San Francisco until at least May 1, many events are considering rescheduling their event to the summertime but pivoting to virtual. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some may argue that only large-scale events should be live-streamed on social media and online, however investing in streaming for any type and size event can prove worth it. If your venue has a cutoff limit to the number of people that can be in attendance, live streaming can be a way to extend the event to those that missed out on the opportunity to attend.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are considering a virtual or livestream event, and need a flexible space to host it, let Colorbloq help you with the logistics. With 1 Gbps fiber internet, we have the bandwidth needed. Pictured here is an event from February that live streamed their keynote speaker to attendees, some situated onsite at Colorbloq and many tuned in virtually. //⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here, at Colorbloq, we are firm believers that our venue is the canvas for you to create an extraordinary event.

Here, our client successfully worked with our in-house provider to brand our yellow tricycle and execute a cold brew coffee station to welcome guests as they arrived for this all-day, two-day conference.

While more elaborate event productions may require the assistance of an entire lighting engineer, for most simple events, the lighting basics should be enough to pull off a successful show for your audience.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's a throwback to some big impact LED uplighting prepared by our A/V coordinator, , for the event Colorbloq hosted in February. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lighting can be just as important as the music itself, so you’ll want to make sure that when planning an event, that you have all your bases covered. Be sure to connect with if you're looking to use simple lighting techniques to highlight your event activations or Colorbloq itself! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
LED lights allow for the use of more than a dozen color combinations with just the push of a single button. They are also a relatively inexpensive way of lighting your event, seeing as they do not draw much power and do not conduct much heat.

Event planning is never easy, and it's only been made more chaotic by the current global pandemic. But it’s also an industry that trains us to deal with adversity, to be adaptable, to be resilient. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The coronavirus outbreak has placed an unprecedented strain on the events industry and the global economy as a whole. With about 20% of the world's population currently in lockdown to contain the spread of the virus, it's a stressful time for everyone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether you're scrambling to transition your event to an online platform, clashing with your insurance provider over a cancelled event, or picking up some side gigs until the industry gets back on its feet, here are five ways to manage stress and anxiety:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Get enough sleep. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Stay active. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Keep busy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Make time for social connection. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Practice gratitude.
