I was not predicting the future, I was trying to prevent it.
― Ray Bradbury
Sadly, that prediction proved correct last night.
Although brought to its knees by Covid-19, the event industry remains vital—and can be a powerful political voice, when it chooses to be.
It's time for the industry to speak up for women's reproductive rights and boycott Texas.
Trade and pubic show organizers, convention planners, and corporate event marketers should join in solidarity.
Exhibitors and sponsors should join in, as well. (They no doubt will.)
No events in Texas! None. Not a one.
