In April, EIC formed the APEX COVID-19 Business Recovery Task Force. More than 40 industry peers – including many CMPs – have contributed to the effort of curating tools and resources to help support our industry's recovery globally.
Grounded by a vision to "share a common belief in the value of live events, and support our industry's global work force and all of the communities that depend on the business of human connections by curating, cultivating and communicating the programmes and practices that will enhance health and safety for in-person gatherings," the group has produced a library of resources:
- Resources for Destinations Accepted Practices Guide
- Travel and Transportation Accepted Practices Guide
- Resources for Workforce and Wellness Accepted Practices Guide
- Health and Safety for Hotels Accepted Practices Guide
- Meeting and Event Design Accepted Practices Guide
As well as other key supporting materials that include EIC Principles for Recovery, Code of Conduct, Key Questions for Event Organisers, Air Travel Planning and Know Before You Go.
With the release of each resource, EIC hosted a webinar. These are all available to watch on demand via EIC's YouTube channel.
The APEX COVID-19 Business Recovery Task Force is led by Co-chairs Michael Dominguez, President and CEO, Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI), and Kristin Horstman, Senior Director, Strategic Events, Salesforce. With representation from across the many sectors and regions of the global events ecosystem, the APEX COVID-19 Business Recovery Task Force provides a voice in planning, preparing and participating in our recovery and our future. The task force is also amplifying the story of our economic and social impact as advocates for our industry.
The full roster of Task Force members can be found on the EIC website here.
We are extremely grateful to the work of this task force in 2020!
EIC will release additional deliverables via social media channels, webinars and the EIC website. If you'd like to follow our activity on social, please connect with @Events_Council on Twitter (#APEXTaskForce), and Events Industry Council on Facebook and LinkedIn.
