7: More Remote Workers
In reaction to social distancing and a lack of socialization, we all find ourselves desperate to connect and to gather. I believe this need will spark a renewed enthusiasm for events and a post-COVID resurgence for this medium as a cornerstone for connectivity. It is likely that companies forced to furlough teams or to revise operations to a work-at-home model will have the impetus to turn focus back to community culture in order to maintain team synergy. Budgets previously dedicated to traditional models of operation may now be unallocated dollars that will need to be leveraged toward company events and team building, compensating for remote employment."

It feels like the corporate work-from-home trend might be here to stay, or at the very least change the way corporations operate in the near to mid-term. Post-COVID, this trend will be a positive for the events industry. People will still need to come together and with more remote workers, we expect team-building events and remote meeting capabilities will be in high demand."
