5 IN 5 - 23rd May
This week's 5 in 5 is a big one! We shine a light on the recent statistics off the back of the incredible trial events which have been successfully delivered within the UK.
We look at the recent virtual Glastonbury festival fiasco in which significant technical difficulty with the virtual event platform almost stopped it completely. The IOC (International Olympic Committee) launch their virtual Olympics to connect with younger audiences.
Zoom launch โZoom Eventsโ to compete against the biggest and best virtual event platforms. Lastly, we see positive news coming from a renewed partnership between the Co-op and Live nation in addition to news of an incredible new event space opening in London.
