4: Patriotic Productions with John Liipfert and Jennifer Larus
<p><strong>How Political Events Adapted With the Pandemic & New Safety Measures</strong></p> <p>In episode four of Industry Insights, we give updates on various financial aid options, the Super Bowl halftime show and how they made the most of the pandemic restrictions, and additional certification courses you can take, including becoming a Certified Meeting Professional or a Certified Special Events Professional. </p> <p>Next, we welcome the dynamic duo of John Liipfert and Jennifer Larus to our podcast, who have been producing events and festivals for almost two decades, with a focus on high-profile political events. Together, they have helped oversee both Obama Inaugurations as well as helping with the most recent Inauguration, where they were on the management team for the Field of Flags installation on the National Mall. </p> <p>We cover how they were able to adjust once the pandemic hit, how they made their 2020 political events COVID-Safe, and go into detail on what it was like working the Inauguration with the extra security measures. </p> <p>Finally, we end this episode with our highlighted non-profit: We Are Blood. Started in 1951, WAB is the provider and protector of the Central Texas Blood supply. They serve over 40 hospitals and medical facilities in a 10 county area. While giving blood is always something needed in virtually every community, the need is heightened by COVID, especially for COVID-19 Plasma (for those who have had COVID). But Whole Blood (normal blood donation), Platelet, and Double Red Cell donations are needed just as urgently.</p> <p>All links and resources for this episode can be found at: <a href="http://festivalandeventproduction.com/industry-insights-episode-4/" target="_blank">http://festivalandeventproduction.com/industry-insights-episode-4/</a></p>
