About This Report
This report was compiled by us here at ThymeBase, an event planning software startup based in San Fransisco.
I work closely every day with event planners, vendors, and other industry professionals. As events began to be postponed and then canceled, I heard anxiety, concern, and amazingly, confidence from the event community.
The more event professionals I spoke to, the more I wanted to share their resilience and optimism. So I did a series of interviews discussing the impact that COVID-19 has had on their lives.
I’ve collected their responses below for journalists and anyone else to use in articles of their own. You’re welcome to quote liberally from this report, but do give credit to both ThymeBase and the individual event professionals.
