Ironically, event professionals are an industry that is changing and an industry that never seems to change. Like many black swan events, there are often long-term changes to the way businesses operate and consumers act. According to a recent McKinsey and Company study, 90% of executives said they expect the fallout from COVID-19 to fundamentally change the way they do business over the next five years.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

For well over a year, we’ve consulted with dozens of associations on their go/no-go event strategies. One of our early — and still applicable — recommendations was for conference organizers to communicate and publish the date when they expect to make the decision for their in-person conference. Over the summer and the fall of 2020, most organizations were able to make decisions six months out without incurring liability.

There are many layers to the work we do. Some of it is easy, some very difficult. Emotional work is the hardest of all. It’s the work we do where we feel like we are taking a risk. It’s the work of caring. Of putting someone else first. Of trying something new. Of having an educated hunch and the willingness to see if this is an idea that other people want.

My kid is very persistent. At age 7 he decided he wanted to learn the art of blacksmithing. For the last four years, he saved nearly every dollar he earned or was gifted for a blacksmithing forge and tools. On the other hand, he will ask me 20 more times after I say no to video games even though the answer will always be no. While some of his persistence is a bit infuriating I can’t get too mad, because my dad tells me I was exactly the same when I was his age.
