Northstar Meetings Group understands how important it is for us all to meet safely and smartly. That's why we recently partnered with Mohegan Sun and PSAV to produce Reconvening for Recovery, a hybrid event bringing together 75 in-person meetings attendees and more than 1,000 virtual participants.

Meetings industry recovery will come with the continued application and implementation of processes and protocols designed to ensure the highest degree of safety and well-being . Northstars’ Recovery Resource Center, based on the assets used to produce Reconvening for Recovery, provides a first-hand look at a comprehensive sample of education, templates, and other real-life “how to” tools to help planners produce successful meetings and events amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
