This has been a tough year for so many especially The Events & Hospitality Industry. Events were cancelled and businesses were impacted. As cities start to reopen and events are being rescheduled, and after talking to our community, The Event Planner Expo will be live again for 2021.
Event and Meeting Planners are looking for the best venues and services to execute their events for their clients. Everyone in the industry is seeking networking opportunities and want to hear from Top Business leaders and Industry experts.
The Event Planner Expo has always been the most highly anticipated event of the year for anyone in the Events, Marketing, and Hospitality Industries. There’s a simple reason why: we know what works. At The Event Planner Expo 2021, deals will be made and connections will formed. We can’t wait to see what happens at this October’s show.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned this year, it’s the power of connection. It’s not just good for business— it’s good for the soul! Community is key in this business in particular. Our tradeshow will connect like minded professionals, bringing together top CEOs, executives, corporate decision makers and planners in a meaningful, productiveway. Get ready to exchange info—you’re about to get a lot busier!
What we love about this business is that at its core, it’s about creativity. Event planning and marketing are both art forms that inspire, motivate, and uplift. This year’s expo is your chance to showcase your business and all it has to offer to thousands of industry insiders. Create new leads, new bonds, new partnerships. Your business is unique and deserves the attention of the biggest names in the business: together, let's make some magic happen!
By showing up to this year’s conference, you’re not just showing a commitment to this vibrant community — you’re also making a commitment to yourself. You’re saying yes to success and seizing the moment. You’re ready to learn, take action, and share. You know the value of showing up, and in this case, the 3 days of this expo have the potential to radically change the trajectory of your career.
As we sit down to write this letter, we feel immensely hopeful. Of course, the last year has been riddled with hardship for just about everyone. With so much uncertainty, from the health of loved ones to economic instability, this last year has been far from easy. But here’s the good news: the end is near. With the days getting warmer and life resuming as it once was, it is fair to say we’ve all proven ourselves. We are resilient. We are resourceful. We are ready to have a thriving year.
Over the course of the last 12 months, we’ve had to pivot, quickly becoming one of the top Virtual Event Planning services in the country. We’ve hosted fantastic virtual events and have managed to infuse events big and small with a sense of excitement and camaraderie even in socially distanced times. As life gets back to normal and in-person gatherings recommence, we’re confident that our industry will persevere. We love that we’re now seeing hybrid events, with virtual and in-person components. It’s the best of both worlds. This year, we are planning for a hybrid event. We are happy to announce that there will be a few new elements to this year’s Expo and we can’t wait to share them with you. If you’re a planner, marketer, vendor, or corporate decision maker, there’s only one place you need to be on October 12-14th, 2021. The future is really bright. We’ve seen so much innovation and creativity over the past year, it is awe inspiring and makes us feel confident that this community really can conquer anything. We can’t wait to welcome you this fall. Get ready for The Event Planner Expo 2021!All the best,
