The industry has revolutionized the conventional chair and screen meetings, primarily for a show of purpose and meaning. There is a constant demand for variation, versatility, convenience, and aesthetics to be developed and transformed with every new event.

Cindy Allen said "Designers are well equipped to help solve humanity's most complex problems, including this one." Celebrations, festivities, gatherings though are now ceased but not forever. To step in the new normal with all that is new, will be a challenge for all mankind. To come together again to celebrate occasions, gods and each other, while adhering to the guidelines issued by the government is what the new normal is. That is where Event designers come to save the day.
