Live discussion: stimulating the visitor attraction sector in a post-covid context

Join us on 25 March at 12pm EDT | 4pm GMT | 5pm CET as nWave and Triotech present a live discussion with a panel of experts on how to boost the attractions industry post COVID.

The attractions industry has been deeply affected by COVID around the world. Many venues have been forced to remain closed for months, whilst others can only open with reduced capacity.

As the industry begins to reopen again, it is crucial that professionals sustain and learn from each other.

nWave and Triotech present this live discussion that will bring together four industry experts. Joining them will be Simworx and Kuvera Partners to give an overview of the situation for the industry as well as share their best practices for a successful reopening.
