Pay Attention To:

  1. What will events look like in the next few years?
  2. Why you can’t just put a camera in the back of the room and think you have an online event.
  3. People go to live events for content and connection – the key is to think about the offline and online path to those separately.
  4. There’s a way to record a live event, edit it, and package it for an online audience that gives the live and virtual audiences the same content with a different experience.
  5. There’s a real opportunity to have smaller, local events that are impactful and create connections.
  6. Whether virtual or offline, one of the keys to events is to treat them like “events”.   Make them important.
  7. It’s pretty clear that a season at Ravinia Park will have just about every music experience you could want!
