Mike Rogers and Scott Terry recently attended the International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM) annual conference,  VenueConnect 2021, in Atlanta.  Representing public assembly venues (arenas, convention centers, amphitheaters, fairgrounds, performing arts centers, stadiums, universities, etc.) from around the world, the conference is an opportunity to bring all types of industry partners together for education, advocacy for issues, and for inspiration for professional growth.  This year’s program was centered around the theme: Adapt – Transform – Innovate, which the sports and entertainment industry has responded to by embracing and accelerating change with the fan experience, and their health, at the forefront.

It was great to see clients, partners, and friends in person after over a year from being away.  It was encouraging to see the level of activity and the energy of the industry coming together in the spirit and love for connectedness.
