FICP Chats: Partnering Through the Comeback
How thrilled we all are that in-person events are roaring back! It has been a very long and challenging two years and everyone is ready for the “big comeback.” Amidst this excitement, however, are challenges and opportunities. They are real – you hear it every day in the news – supply chain issues, labor shortages, the great resignation – and the travel and hospitality industries have been hit particularly hard. FICP is a very special organization and we are known for our solid partnerships and One Community. It has always been our important foundation, but even more so two years ago with the pandemic onset and great industry disruption. As we climb out of this together and pent up demand is causing the flood of event activity, it is even more critical that we continue to work together to smooth out the bumps and move forward as a community and an industry.
