I hope this message finds you and your families safe and healthy. While COVID-19 continues to shift our world, PRA has been passionately working to move our industry forward and helping our clients pivot events to digital engagements until we are able to meet again, in-person.
To prepare for what’s ahead, we are intently focused on the health and safety of you, your meeting attendees and our employees as we work to reshape the future of events. Our internal taskforce has been busy over the last few weeks, researching new mandates and health standards for meetings and events to come.
At PRA, we are committed to creating an environment that ensures peace of mind. This is not a responsibility that we take lightly. All PRA staff will be trained in new health and safety protocols directly related to the COVID-19 response. Additionally, all supplier contracts reflect the most current OSHA, CDC, EPA and FDA regulations and pass PRA’s Health & Safety certification process. We will continue to evaluate and enhance our processes and policies to ensure we have the highest standards of care. You can read the full PRA Health & Safety Statement on our website.
To support you in your future planning efforts, included in this email are Transportation Safety Considerations, which we have compiled in collaboration with the industry’s leading transportation companies. This document will update as best practices do, and we hope you find it to be a useful tool as you look to your next program.
If you missed our recent webinars, I invite you to review The Big Pivot to learn more about leveraging digital engagements and Design Tools for Navigating the Future of In-Person Events with its downloadable Tactical Design Checklist. Later this month, we will also be sharing how CSR and Sustainability efforts will adjust to the new digital experiences we see coming. Meetings may be coming together differently, but there are countless ways to keep them impactful!
Finally, I also wanted to reassure you that all 28 PRA offices and One Smooth Stone, a PRA Event and Communication Agency, remain open and available to you. PRA is well-positioned to weather this crisis, and our ability to react, scale and support the needs of our clients continues unabated. We remain dedicated to you, just as much now as we have over our 40-year history. We look forward to partnering with you in digital event engagements, as well as in-person events in the near future.
Stay healthy and be well,
Mike Fiber / CEO, PRA (Website)
