The Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort announced today that Sunni Dupree has been appointed as general manager of Hotel Effie Sandestin. The property is scheduled to open on February 1, offering an unparalleled experience that exemplifies genuine Southern hospitality and exceptional service wrapped in comfortable luxury that feels like coming home.  

Event Tech Live, traditionally an in-person show held in London each November, was converted to a fully virtual experience that featured about 100 educational sessions plus 70 tech-product demos. In late January, 10 weeks after the event concluded, show management announced the launch of another version of the show aimed at the needs of event planners in North America.

On June 8-9, ETL USA & Canada will take place as a virtual event and have roughly as many educational sessions and product demos as the original ETL, copying a format focused on solutions that can help event organizers host events through the pandemic and after. Aimed at expo organizers, event agencies, and corporate and association meeting planners, ETL USA & Canada will broadcast live sessions from the U.K from two stages, and use a third stage to produce event highlights, interviews, and tech trials. June event’s daily schedule will be on Central Standard Time in the U.S. There is no fee for planners to attend.
