BETHESDA, Md. - Marylandian -- COVID-19 has impacted every aspect of the events industry. It has also brought different segments together to share ideas and provide support. CustomNEWS, Inc., an industry-leading publisher of print and digital show dailies, has created a website focused on marketing and communications for virtual, hybrid and live events: https://cnshowdailies.com/covid-19-resources. In less than two months, the blog site has had more than 1,600 views and 800 visitors.

Jenn Waters, assistant publisher and digital media manager, CustomNEWS, has written more than 15 blog posts for the website. Her hope is to provide meeting organizers and association executives with ideas that may resonate with them either now, or in six months from now. Topics covered have included:
- Virtual conferences: Using digital publishing tools for pre-event marketing; sharing conference content with a wide audience; creating sponsorship opportunities; driving traffic to a virtual exhibit hall; offering value-added opportunities to virtual exhibitors; and creating a print program.
