October Education Meeting Featuring Michael Dominguez

The Path Forward - A Winding Road with Some Speed Bumps
Hosted by:

The experience of 2020 has absolutely been unexpected, uncertain, and devastating in many ways. We now face a world, country, economy, and industry traveling a road much less traveled as we begin to restart our global commerce engine and hospitality industry.

The short-term post COVID-19 environment will require our ability to work together, adapt often and learn as a community. This session will examine the anticipated experience and industry protocols that will be in place for the remainder of 2020.

Learning Objectives

• Update on the current situation regarding the Global state of COVID-19
• Industry implementations of standards and protocols as our economy re-opens
• Meeting environment expected changes for the fall of 2020
• Current state of the economy and expectations for 2020 and 2021
• A review of travel experience changes and expectations
