Build Your Meeting Guide

As CORT Events’ team of event designers tackled challenge after challenge, navigating new situations, protocols and client expectations, it’s safe to say we’ve all learned a lot these past couple of years. Now, it’s our responsibility to you, our industry colleagues, to pass along this new knowledge and wealth of ideas.


Still packed full of transferable, scalable and ready to deploy tactics, the Build Your Meeting Guide 2.0 will be your secret weapon as you welcome back events and meetings with open arms.


In This Guide:

  • Creative budgeting methods when guest counts and room capacities are in flux. 
  • Strategies for mapping out a safe and inviting attendee experience from start to finish   
  • Coaching on how to design with intention so that every piece has a purpose.

  • Use our side tables and greenery to fill the 6' space between speakers on stage. Alternatively, if you're limited on space, use our clear dividers to keep speakers safe.  
  • If your meeting is hybrid, make sure your staging looks as good to the folks tuning in virtually as it does to those in person.
