Matt - I sure hope your dates are off!!!!

:-)

Do you have a summer conference program? If so, are you still planning on allowing summer conferences and camps to happen?

Do you still have students living on campus? Do you have any residential or retail restaurants providing meal service on your campus?

How are you balancing internal booking vs external booking, are you planning on prioritizing?

Attn: Chuck - would you be willing to share out your findings from your surveys?

Love those dates @Matt Bolling

Will PSGV be able to have more than 10 people in a bigger room for an event?

Hey @Kimberly Araya

What ideas do you have for engaging event attendees for the virtual only events we have to move to? Any top used interactive polling tools to replace hand raising or getting a pulse check from large groups?

Right now in PA yellow allows gatherings up to 25

Sure! All of our findings can be seen at unique venues.com/resources. There are a variety of webinar videos and other resources that include the polling results.

Thank you!

Is it possible to have a 20 person event using a double or triple room suite?

Concerned about covering costs for event if remote attendees expect to pay a much reduced fee.

Not sure how I confused the start time of this event :(

Here is the info: https://gbac.issa.com/about/

Thank you for the clarification :-)

Penn State is supposed to make a decision university wide on in-person classes by June 15

Thank you Kristen, Chuck and Becky--Best of Luck to everyone! BE SAFE.

Yes, thank you everyone--be well!

Are sustainability & environmental concerns being considered while planning in person events? I realize 'one use' containers/gloves/masks etc. is the accepted way at the moment to limit touch points/cross contamination, I was wondering if anyone has looked at sustainable & safe options for Food Service, Registrations, Cleaning & 'hotel operation' toiletries? Our campuses Pre-covid efforts to reduce plastic waste have kind of gone to the way-side in this current climate.

If your attendees are required to wear masks who is reinforcing that requirement? The venue or meeting planner?

can someone share a link to the physical distance equation for room diagrams?

Kristen mentioned a math equation for distance/square footage required...

The information Kristen mentioned regarding the physical distance equation for room diagrams can be found here - https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcwservices.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F04%2FRecovery-Readiness-How-to-Guide-1.0-CWS.pdf&data=02%7C01%7Crus1078%40psu.edu%7C5babb16cb88a4e7a9cec08d7f77144ae%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C637249938157931901&sdata=RExXMC7wFoqDGYHeRUpiAY15AgwoeJfGnGYn5lm4sPo%3D&reserved=0

That's a great question Leslie....anyone have that information?

This is the precise language - "Calculate the maximum capacity of each room by dividing the net usable area by the square of the locally acceptable social distance (e.g., for a 6’ social distance: a 200 SF room divided by 36 SF would have a recalculated maximum capacity of 5 people). Communicate this capacity via signage and room reservation tools."

Thank you, Becky!
