I often say that events are everything. Events are marketing, project management, design, business, communications, neuroscience, and so much more. Today we will be talking about how events and hospitality are transferable skills for crisis management. As COVID ramped up throughout 2020, crisis management contractors needed more staff. They looked for those with meeting and event planning backgrounds who were already tried and tested as professionals who could handle pressure, think quickly on their feet, and effectively manage rapidly changing logistics smoothly.  As some event planners, and many hoteliers, were separated or furloughed from their full time positions, this became an easy transition where many of the skills were naturally transferable between industries. In today's industry spotlight, Jordan shares with us his background in meetings and events as a hotelier and his experience transferring into the field of crisis management during these unprecedented times!
