We have been shouting from the rooftop since March 2021 that we officially have a solution to learn how to live with COVID and how to produce safe live events. Yes, it’s an extra added step and “inconvenience,” but we’ll take this over being locked down and being told we can’t do our job. For us all to move forward, our society must become fully vaccinated (now boosted) and have rapid tests readily available prior to much larger indoor events. Until we reach herd immunity, this is our new way of admission. And it works.

It’s our birthday this week! Looking back at this time last year (when we rebranded), so much has changed. What have we learned? Where do things stand? How much whiplash have we been able to withstand? What is the current state of our industry (really, truly)? That’s worth talking about.
