A panel of design industry experts explore how the physical spaces that bring people together will be reimagined in the post COVID world as safety becomes a top concern.

COVID has dramatically changed how spaces are configured.

Design has the power to bring people together in a safe way. Join our conversation with three seasoned design professionals to discuss the future of hospitality design. We will also discuss the challenge of readapting existing spaces that may be a result of COVID-related design changes.
