This includes private access for event attendees and hotel staff briefed on privacy of event before, during and after.<\/li>\n<li>Sourcing extra supplies for clients to put their mind at ease when it comes to sensitisation and catering. This includes individually wrapped portions and no buffets or communal food offering.<\/li>\n<li>Assisting with hire of refrigeration for vans that are used for blood transportation.<\/li>\n<li>While negotiation and group accommodation is normal practice, when dealing with COVID-19 it&#8217;s our responsibilty to think of every detail such as ensuring housekeeping at the venue do not enter the room within so many hours of the guest leaving. We make sure that cleaning products, bedding and other products are delivered to the room for long stays and unless the guest is moving to another room they will be in charge of this themselves.<\/li>\n<li>Training sessions prior to the event to ensure the guests are aware of the hotel protocol in advance and create confirmation documents that guests understand the terms and will abide by the hotel COVID-19 protocols.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_5,3_5,1_5&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.2&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;40px||40px||true|&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.2&#8243;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.2&#8243;][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.2&#8243;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;how do they work?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.8.2&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>What have Gray Dawes Events been doing while live events weren&#8217;t allowed?<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">&#8220;While we have been in lockdown and unable to host live events we have kept in constant contact with our clients to see what their priorities are when it comes to meeting face-to-face again.

We recognise that we are entering a new world of events and want to do this hand in hand with our clients in a collaborative manner. We believe that this approach will help put our clients at ease and allow them to influence live events going forward.<\/p>\n<p>While live events haven&#8217;t been allowed we have worked on our <a href=\"https:\/\/gd.events\/project\/hybrid-events\/\">Hybrid Events<\/a> solution.

It is important for us to have safe, face to face meetings with suppliers and get a real understanding and feel of how the post COVID-19 meetings and events industry will work. While we feel that everything both us and suppliers are implementing will create a safe live events environment we also feel it&#8217;s important to practice what we preach and give our customers first-hand knowledge and experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As well as dealing with rescheduled and new bookings for the latter part of 2021, we are still receiving enquiries for the smaller, business essential meetings for the present too. Training rooms and strategy themed meetings are top of the list for most while those looking for a more blended approach have opted for Hybrid Events.<\/p>\n<p>The demand for meeting is very much still here, albeit in different formats, we are always looking at what we can offer safely while still delivering the clients a great experience. It is great to see our clients are still wanting face-to-face events and feel that the need to meet in person is still essential to their business. We have enquiries for 2022 which some dates are already fully booked in some areas. Which is why we suggest booking now for the future as we can only see demand increasing even more as we see lockdown restriction ease and move further down the roadmap.&#8221;<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_5,3_5,1_5&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.2&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;40px||40px||true|&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.2&#8243;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.2&#8243;][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.2&#8243;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Intro&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.2&#8243; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.0.6&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Intro&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.8.2&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221;]<strong>If you are thinking of putting on a face-to-face event this year and are looking for some expert guidance, then why not get in touch with <a href=\"https:\/\/gd.events\/where\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gray Dawes Events<\/a>?
