In response to the increased demand for hybrid events, convention centers across the United States, including the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando and David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, are adding virtual studios to their facilities.

Reed Exhibitions’ COVID-19 Customer Needs and Mindset Barometer, a survey of almost 3,00 exhibitors and over 9,000 attendees, reveals insights on the effect of the pandemic on the events industry from the data they have been collecting since June 2020.

By readjusting their priorities and thinking creatively, leaders can optimize their workplace's culture for a digital environment, which will make employees more productive and happier in the long-term.

New data suggests that while many virtual event attendees have been satisfied with the experience, exhibitors, especially those who rely on events to generate new leads, feel they are struggling to connect with attendees.

No matter the event format, industry professionals must remember to be inclusive of attendees with disabilities.

Leaders can most effectively develop their competent employees' skills by providing them with opportunities to take charge on projects.

With COVID-19 halting face-to-face interaction at B2B exhibitions, matching buyers and sellers is more important than ever.
