As an event industry expert, people have been asking me lately: What will live events be like for the rest of 2021? After reviewing the latest meeting publications and government reports and talking with dozens of event professionals, I came across one common theme: there is no universal agreement on health and safety precautions for event attendance in 2021. The federal government and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are making recommendations--no mandates. Health and safety precautions for events are being decided by the individual state legislatures and vaccine verification is being left to the private sector.
