IAAPA Expo Europe returns | report from Barcelona 2021
blooloop: There were a number of protocols in place due to the pandemic. For instance temperature checks on arrival, and face masks. There were also extra-wide aisles on the show floor and socially distanced seats in the conference areas. Yet once the 8,500 industry professionals that attended IAAPA Expo Europe met in the Spanish city, business relationships and friendships resumed as if they’d never been interrupted.

I really liked this article because the convention I have been eyeing recently revamped and updated their policies, as well as many conventions have been happening recently and some of the changes they made were listed in this article like aisle space. I think it’s interesting that they had a testing site on the grounds and it would have been nice to see more details about that, like how many people used the site, what were the results, information and data like that. I found it interesting that the article mentioned masks, yet in one image where, while it was outdoors, people were in close contact with one another, there weren't any masks to be seen. I am also interested in if they did any sort of vaccine or negative test check, or was it just on temp checks alone. Overall, I thought the article was a good read, but again, am more interested in the COVID aspect of an event like this as well as the fact that it did happen and the excitement around that.
