Less than 10% of events have a crisis communications plan. When asked to write an article for @meetingstoday about the #coronavirus outbreak, it was a no-brainer. Check out my 10 important tips for crisis communications during this industry-wide crisis. meetingstoday.com/newsevents/ind…

@DisTrackers Got this guy after completing my dex!

@DisTrackers It's a shipping refund. So, whatever you paid for shipping. Mine was only $15.

Thrilljoy $25 refunds are going out! They’re sneaky. They shipped some orders yesterday, so it probably means no shipping refund for them. . #Thrilljoy #Collectibles #DisTrackers

Nothing like biting into your @dunkindonuts breakfast sandwich and finding a piece of plastic. After waiting 20 minutes for this sandwich, having it made without sausage first, and then getting plastic, I think I'll pass on breakfast at @dunkindonuts again. 🤮

When @Starbucks says "we don't give a shit about Passover, order our pastries anyways." Really Starbucks? This is the bonus offer you give me the week of Passover? I have to order not 1 but 2 pastries? 😒

@tojulius And if you think this isn't a bias towards people who can afford to attend vs people who can't you'd be wrong. 1000% guarantee the online audience is more diverse. Small biz owners, single parents, businesses who can't afford to send all their employees, BIPOCs, etc.

I am shocked at how many think that 600 views on an event recording are nothing. But that same event had 200 people attending live. 3x more. Oh yeah but they were more engaged in-person! Wait, how do you know? Are you tracking in-person engagement? Because you know exactly how much time they spent watching online. Bias and poor monetization strategies are the real issues.

@tojulius Refusal to innovate & change. The cries from industry leaders to "return to f2f" & "get back to normal!" They did nothing embrace the opportunity for better. Doesn't help that much of leadership come from hotels & travel. The two pillars that don't benefit from virtual events.

A whole generation of event professionals has been trashed by the pandemic's virtual event pivot. Specifically, hands-on production specialists, sales professionals, and event planners who bet 100% on virtual. In many cases, they joined eventtech companies because they truly

So proud of my nephew, number 6 in white with the giant red socks, who played in the Mites on Ice game yesterday! Future Caps is right!

@peteerickson Surprising how many of these I still see on a regular basis. Diversity of thought isn't hard to represent. Somebody just isn't trying.

@DisTrackers I'm pretty satisfied with my pulls. The full art Squirtle and Blastoise was worth it.

📭📦 Got my Pokémon 151 UPC! Here are some of my pulls. Did you buy one? . #Pokemon #PokemonCollector #PokemonCards #PokemonTCG #TradingCards #Pokemon151 #DisTrackers #Collectibles #PokemonUPC

Really @UberEats? How are you going to send me an email today for a coupon code that expired yesterday? 🤦‍♂️

@FanaticsSupport @rmnb @NoVa_Caps You're very welcome! Wish I could get the hat spelled correctly. I love the look of it.

@APlaxen @rmnb @NoVa_Caps Oh Wow! I agree with you, Alex😲! I have escalated this issue to the correct department. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention.

Hey @Fanatics, I know it's supposed to be "retro", but I don't recall a time when the @Capitals spelled their name "CAPTIALS". How is this officially licensed gear?! It's gotta be somebody's job to check this stuff, right? #WashingtonCapitals #NHL

@ux92 @RareThief You can actually just vote down the adventure on your ship and then go talk to Belle. The options are still there. Way easier than logging out and back in and sailing again.

@RareThief (logging out and back in then sailing back to Crescent Island will let you choose the option again though, although it's a bummer)

🏴‍☠️ PSA: Pirate Service Announcement 🏴‍☠️ A Rune Tablet is not guaranteed to drop during your Adventure. You might have to do Chapter Two a few times to find one. But don't worry! You don't need it to complete the Adventure and earn your Shrouded Compass and title! #SeaOfThieves
