It's #InternationalBeerDay. It's a rainy evening in #Victoria - why not pop in and pick up a #boardgame like #BrewCrafters and head home with some #localbrews to celebrate. Shout out to #VancouverIsland breweries. @phillipsbeer @driftwoodbeer @HoyneBeer @BCAleTrail @vibrewing

The order in which hospitality industry segments will return:
1. Leisure - people itching to get out and can’t travel abroad
2. SMERF - smaller size social events (eg weddings)
3. Business Travel
4. Small MICE - regional over national meetings
5. Larger MICE in late 21/early 22

Managing the pre-production and implementation of virtual events requires different timing, tools knowledge, and experience design skills.

My 12yo was supposed to play at Carnegie Hall on Friday. Then Carnegie closed, so we did a living room concert. No fancy stage or accompanist, but we're grateful for music today. Be safe, everyone. ❤️ Full video: youtu.be/_4yBv7EeaGE #SunshineSongs #LivingRoomConcerts
