In this episode of Happy Hour, we settle in with the cabernet barreled Navigator Bourbon in a John Collins cocktail, while our guest sips on actual cabernet Imagery Cabernet Sauvignon in a mason jar.
Event Producer, Monica Moore is difficult to find on social media but you can always see her onsite with a headset calling the shots. We talk about times we spent together at the Frieze Art Fair and Bloomberg Summer Picnic, but what you may not know is Moore is a big deal especially in Times Square. We are impressed with the Pontiac Garage Times Square Opening, Coca Cola 2009 Sign Launch, and the grandest of them all, the New Year's Eve Times Square.
This permitting savant explains the problems to solve at Martha Stewart American Made Celebration, ways to pivot into steaming YouTube Brandcast, and how outdoor events are living strong in the city with NY Pops Up.
We dig deep on how keeping an event safe and secure will hit the budgets for the next few years, worry about unclear guidelines based on those safety restrictions, and the short lifespan of the virtual-only event.

Welcome back to Happy Hour 2021! In this episode, we take a sip and chat with Nick Gauchat, Chief Product Officer at Suzy. Gauchat has been the digital backbone for many of our experiential marketing efforts for the past decade and has some incredible insight on the role technology has from recruiting brand representatives to efficient entry and data collection of attendees. "Connection" is the keyword from digital to live events and the main focus all marketers must embrace in virtual or onsite environments. We end our discussion on the personal protocol from the entry process into an event to closing a negotiation, what's the new handshake, and are face masks here to stay.

In this episode, we take the time to reflect on what we have learned from our guests and conversations in 2020. We take time to thank our listeners and guests while remembering what we prize as event producers. From the wise words of Bronson Van Wyck, "We are helping people make other people feel good." During this reset, we reminisce on how our guests could not stand still and volunteered, became activists, and started their own projects of creativity into the world. Keep producing, keep inspiring, keep doing.
