84 West Events remains a leader on wedding trends. Unfortunately, tragedies are no different. Immediately after the shut down due to COVID-19, 84 West launched an industry-wide Zoom call to discuss the issues of the pandemic hosted by Jeffrey Greene, founder of 84 West Events, in partnership with Florida International University’s Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism.
The first call attracted so much attention that various prominent industry leaders wanted to participate the following week. The third Zoom meeting attracted thousands of attendees from around the country, and some even outside of the United States. Now the call includes state representatives, lawyers, the CEO of BizBash and even featured David Tutera. At this point, a new organization called The Live Events Coalition was formed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and its devastating impact on the live events industry.
The Live Events Coalition exists to provide advocacy, resources and a network that connects and supports all of the businesses, contractors and our workforce – the lifeblood of every event. At this point the Live Coalition has taken over as the primary host of these calls but Jeffrey Greene, founder of 84 West Events, is still featured prominently as an expert. Recently, Jeff and The Live Events Coalition were featured on WSVN 7News. See the segment HERE.
We are proud to be part of this strong industry while advocating for and supporting the many voices that make up the live events industry. If you would like to join our Zoom meetings consisting of hospitality, planners, caterers, talent, musicians, producers, technicians, general contractors, engineers, suppliers, manufacturers and so much more, please contact Jeff@84westevents.com for information.
