My favorite session was the one about Joy Spreaders. Maybe not one that will get make me better in my current role, but it was SO positive and refreshing which was a nice change. <3 #Expochat

A5. While I generally like the platform, I have found it a bit frustrating that the presentation screen is so small. It's been hard to see many of the presentations easily, and while you *can* make it full screen then you can't see the chat. :/ #expochat

A4. I did! I thought that the BINGO was fun once they got the tech issue fixed....was super impressed to have almost 200 people participating in the Zoom room! Not as much fun as the regular reception, but I appreciated the event and the ability to connect. <3 #expochat

A1. Took a minute to find one, but I love this shot of Nancy and I during the Terence Donnelly 5K last year. First time actually going to the Las Vegas sign! #Expochat

A7. Thankful that I have somehow been able to continue growing my network and expanding my industry family during these trying times! I truly have been able to remain connected while being apart because of the innovation and strength of our amazing industry. <3 #expochat

A6. Understanding that prices might be higher and turnaround time slower for the next little bit while vendors get back on their feet. #expochat

A5. @IAEEDC continued fundraising for their chosen charities and over the year raised just shy of $1200 for the Capitol Area Food Bank. There was also a limited fundraiser for a local pet shelter, which I think raised around $500ish? #expochat

A4. Definitely been grateful for virtual industry events. @IAEE_HQ has put together some good meet-ups for the chapter leadership that has proven to be super useful in sourcing ideas for adapting chapter efforts to respond to the current climate. #expochat

A1. I have been SO impressed with the many ways that the events industry has adapted to continue offering memorable experiences. I have seen (and keep seeing!) so many new, creative and fun ways to engage in the virtual format and it's been really inspiring. #expochat

Jessi from Auto Care here and my favorite Thanksgiving food is definitely the pies. #expochat

A3. Interesting concept. I could defintely see "Health and Safety" compliance officers being a thing moving forward, and their role would shift depending on current concerns at the time. #expochat
A2. Right now my biggest hurdle is funding unfortunately. My association, like many, is implementing cost-cutting that will limit travel. Personally, I think that is going to be the biggest hurdle to reopening...doesn't make sense to host events if no one can come. #expochat

I know that isn't a safety protocol, but I feel like most of the planners I have spoken with are at least some level of comfortable that the events CAN be safe, and that ultimately isn't going to be the biggest holdup. #expochat
