Recap of Webinar: APEX COVID-19 Business Recovery Task Force Discussion on Launch of B2B and B2C Exhibitions Accepted Practices Guide

In response to the impact of COVID-19, the Events Industry Council formed the APEX COVID-19 Business Recovery Task Force. The task force work groups are focused on aggregating and curating accepted practices across the events ecosystem and providing a framework for recovery and resilience as the industry adapts to its most significant disruption. In this webinar, our panel discussed the intention of the APEX COVID-19 Task Force work, the process of aggregation and curation of resources, the guide, and its customisable tools.
