Virtual communities are not new. And today, virtual communities are one of the only safe ways we can connect with each other.

The coronavirus pandemic — and the behavioral shifts and the economic recession it’s triggered — are on the verge of steamrolling entire industries and transforming the paradigm of others.

And across industries and organizations, budgets are one of the first places this impact can be seen.

The corporate events industry isn’t the only one suffering from in-person, large gathering bans. The themed entertainment industry, which relies primarily on in-person entertainment, is also experiencing major setbacks.

Whether it's a live or digital event, it's a common misstep for event planners to create an experience for attendees who make up the majority. How can you design a more inclusive event that considers all diverse needs and backgrounds?

As events move to digital, it's more important than ever to create personalized journeys with multiple touchpoints if you want to change an audience’s behavior or mindset in the long term.

The fight for racial equality is a shared responsibility by all communities and cultures. The past few weeks have served as an awakening and an integral catalyst for reflection on how we as a company can do better.

Disruption, Transformation and especially Innovation: words that should elicit goosebumps reduced to nickel notions. As marketers and communicators, we spent the last few decades tossing these terms like confetti in order to glorify minimal, incremental upgrades and to flog feel-good platitudes.

Planners and production teams are often faced with uncontrollable variances to our show’s ebbs and flows which occur naturally when designing something so human. However, this juggling ability hasn’t been tested quite like it is now.

We’re living in unprecedented times, but I remain optimistic about the future. As communications professionals, we bring people together to celebrate milestones, exchange ideas and make meaningful connections—connections that people need now more than ever.

Debuting today, InVision Communications, in partnership with InHouse Physicians, launches CLEANevents — safely bringing people together again.

A guest speaker can easily make or break your event. And finding the right one might feel like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be.

While our return to F2F events is on the horizon, InVision’s Jonathan Brown, VP Design, offers valuable insights for how to turn your corporate event’s brand and messaging into a compelling visual story—much of which still holds true when hosting your event online.

With the “new normal” in place for over a month now, our event strategy and production capabilities have been at the forefront, working with clients to transform their original face-to-face plans into digital alternatives.
