We realize what a challenging time this is for Small Businesses in the Event Industry. We put this COVID-19 resource list together to help alleviate your stress levels and keep you up to date on industry news.
As the days go by, the COVID-19 cases are increasing and anxiety levels rising. Small Businesses have been forced to close and downsize, leaving many uncertain about what their futures may hold.
