Even though mask requirements have eased, we're still happy to assist in planning an event with attendees' well-being in mind. Take CNO Financial Group's Manager Meeting in Las Vegas last month as an example.
We provided custom onsite meet well. meet safe. blueprints for conference attendees, including mask guidelines and health waivers to ensure overall event safety.
For us, the pandemic was a one-of-a-kind opportunity to hit the reset button.
We kept our doors open and quickly seized the opportunity to evaluate processes, expenses, and the overall foundation upon which we had built our business over two decades. Read more by clicking "Finding Familiarity" in our bio link.
