Chelsea Football Club hosted the ‘ReConnect – Power of People’ hybrid event on 25 May, which featured 40 industry leaders and event organisers who debated the core issues covering how the £84bn sector can successfully emerge from Covid-19.
The event at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium featured a series of panel discussions and interactive polls with attendees that identified a wide range of industry insights.
ReConnect began with a poll asking the audience if they thought most live events would be back to ‘normal’ within the next 12-18 months. Positively a majority of 62% answered ‘yes’, but 23% said they were ‘not sure’, and 15% said ‘no’.
The event will feature live panel discussions chaired by
Conference News editor Martin Fullard. Panellists will include representatives from some of the sector’s leading organisations including Hire Space, Delegate Wranglers, Story Events Ltd, London & Partners, Smyle, and more. Delegates will also be able to get involved in the debates whether they are attending in person or online.
ReConnect’s first panel discussion ‘One Industry, One Voice #WeCreateExperiences’ will help drive the One Industry One Voice campaign, the coalition of event industry campaigns, associations, and businesses that have come together to ensure a strong alignment for more effective communication, championing awareness and financial support for the events industry. The panel discussion will cover how this in the industry can celebrate live events, and adapt, innovate and collaborate to run successful events as the world reopens.
