London-based Pabla plans her events with clients one-on-one and believes personalized touches matter now, more than ever. If people have children or [other] responsibilities, then they can have dinner with their partner, put the children to bed, then they can kind of just relax, said Pabla.
Use technology to its advantage I wouldn t try to recreate everything about a live event work with what virtual [events] can offer, said Liz Taylor of events planner Taylor Lynn based in Manchester, UK, whose clients have included businesses such as Mercedes Benz and Thomas Cook Airlines. It seems to be far more of a way of visually connecting, as opposed to emotionally connecting. So visual activities are the key. These can include everything from games to panic rooms made virtual.
