Lowell, Massachusetts – The 2020 pandemic impacted many industries, especially the hospitality and events industry. Although we are proud of all of our client venues for their versatility and flexibility when in-person gatherings went virtual, the University of Massachusetts Lowell was voted Best Virtual Conference. Voters recognized their exceptional team, advanced technology, and continued adaptability in shifting events to a virtual platform for the safety of guests and attendees.

At the beginning of the pandemic, UMass Lowell Hospitality & Event Services made an immediate shift to remote event support. Always thinking one step ahead, the team purchased use of the Hopin platform, anticipating the need for digital event spaces that pushed the limits of what other platforms could do. The team quickly went to work, meeting with the developers, spending extra hours honing skills, developing synergy in the virtual space, and creating standards and practices for a brand new type of event. What emerged only a few weeks later was a team of eight individuals across two departments who became a self-sufficient, full-scale virtual conference management team. Talk about making the best of every opportunity!

In 2020, UMass Lowell helped bring the Virtual UVAMC Conference to other event professionals seeking clarity in a time of uncertainty, setting a standard for what running virtual event operations could look like. With the shift to meeting virtually, the UVAMC Conference was able to reach more people than previous years. This helped set the stage for fully virtual or hybrid events during the next year and into the future.

This new platform not only helped the Unique Venues team host their conference, but it also aided the university as they transitioned into a new hybrid school year.

The team gave UMass Lowell students the chance to learn about campus organizations at multiple Engagement Fairs throughout the year. A cappella groups held concerts, departments showcased research, and external partners were able to virtually network. UMass Lowell's use of the Hopin platform set the stage early for other organizations and universities across the country to adopt the platform and understand what it meant to support a virtual conference or event.

UMass Lowell successfully found a way in a physically distanced time during the pandemic to prioritize personal relationships through the multi-layer support of its virtual events.

The team at UMass Lowell is excited to help you find a happy medium among fully virtual, hybrid, and fully in-person events. Filled with history and culture, University of Massachusetts Lowell is a gorgeous campus to have your next in-person or hybrid event.

The Hospitality and Event Services team is ready to work with you and your budget to make your next meeting, conference, or party a success!

The university has an event capacity of 7,800 guests spread over 13 different facilities. If you are searching for gathering space that can accommodate your group of 25 or 1,000, the Tsongas Center is the perfect space for you. The Tsongas Center offers four unique event spaces – the Talon Club, the Center Club Room, the Lowell Bank Pavilion and the arena’s floor. These spaces can be arranged to fit the needs of your next event. You can even rent one of these facilities to use during the next UMass Lowell basketball game! One of the most scenic spots on campus to host an event is the Bellegarde Boathouse.

Located on the banks of the Merrimack, the deck facility at UMass Lowell’s Bellegarde Boathouse provides some of the region’s most spectacular waterfront views. What a stunning backdrop for your next meeting, wedding reception, or corporate party!

The choices for food and beverage are endless at UMass Lowell. Guests can enjoy world-class options at one of the university’s dining halls. If you need a catered meal, the catering team will be happy to work with your budget to create a delicious meal everyone will enjoy.

After a day of meetings and presentations, make sure to stop by 50 Warren Lounge to sample some of their classic cuisine. Unwind with a cocktail in their fireside lounge, or dine in the canal-facing restaurant!

Located in historic Lowell, MA, UMass Lowell is in close proximity to Manchester and Boston. After your event, guests will have endless options of places to visit, eat, or drink. UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center is within walking distance to the Lowell Memorial Auditorium, Merrimack Repertory Theatre, Lowell National Historic Park, Boarding House Park, and a wealth of historical attractions. If guests are feeling up for a drive, suggest that they take a trip to one of the other nearby towns or even states. Many great attractions are just a short drive away from UMass Lowell!

The Georgia Center is so popular for day meetings that they even created their own package for planners to select! Instead of charging for room rentals and audio/ visual fees, the Georgia Center created the Day Meeting Package that ties all expenses into one easy bundle.

Whether your event is virtual, hybrid, or fully in-person, the Georgia Center is ready to help create an unforgettable experience for your guests.

The uniqueness of the Georgia Center is that it also doubles as a hotel – perfect for on-site accommodations for your guests. The Georgia heat will stand no chance as your guests enjoy air-conditioned rooms and suites.

Attendees will love the convenience of staying overnight on campus and having all of the meeting spaces right outside of their hotel door.

If you plan on utilizing the on-campus catering services, guests will only be steps away from a delicious meal during their stay. After their meeting or conference takes a lunch break or concludes at the end of the day, they will travel to the banquet area of the property to enjoy their meal. Connecting with other attendees is highly encouraged while eating at one of the eight-person round tables in the facility.

Guests can also enjoy one of the 20 restaurants located within a mile of the Georgia Center. If your guests love food and trying new cuisine, Athens is the city for them!

Located 60 miles from Atlanta, the Georgia Center is a reasonable day’s commute for a meeting, presentation, or conference in Athens. For out-oftown guests, a commercial shuttle service is offered to transport attendees from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to the Georgia Center numerous times a day.

After your event ends, make sure to stick around and take in all of the local attractions in Athens. If you are lucky, you might have the opportunity to catch an SEC football game at Sanford Stadium or a basketball game at Stegeman Coliseum.

Local sourcing is a main element of how UMCP does business. By choosing local, they are providing healthier options for guests, students, and faculty as well as supporting the College Park community.

The first local source they partner with is Terp Farm – a joint venture of the Department of Dining Services and the College of Agriculture. Terp Farm is an organic farm and teaching lab where students receive hands-on experience not otherwise available on campus. Mixed lettuces, fresh heirloom tomatoes, root vegetables, herbs, gourds, and beans come from Terp Farm for use 35

University of Maryland, College Park prides itself on building connections between students and faculty, and this is an awesome example of how they are doing just that.

Finally, University of Maryland, College Park has created sustainability efforts to implement all over campus, especially for dining services. Good Tidings Catering and Goodies 2 Go deliveries work with the Facilities Department to provide waste-free events as often as possible. Procurement processes favor

sustainable ingredients for cooking. For example, vegetables served at events, in cafés, and dining halls are purchased fresh, then either roasted, steamed, sautéed, or simmered.

In 2014, UMCP committed to sustainability – pledging to source 20 percent of food from sustainable sources by 2020. Can you believe that the university reached this goal by 2016?

Athens, Georgia – The recent pandemic has hit the events and hospitality industry with exceptional force.

At Unique Venues, we are proud of all of our partner venues for quickly adapting and creating a new approach to conducting business. The story behind the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education & Hotel’s pandemic pivot is special and has helped shape the Center into the amazingly versatile facility it is today.

Follow along as we recap what helped them survive and thrive during a pandemic that affected almost every single industry in the world.

Almost two years ago, the COVID-19 pandemic rocked everyone’s world. When the pandemic forced the University of Georgia to shut down and shift to remote learning, the Georgia Center, staffed by about 150 student workers and 130 full- and part-time professional staff, not only had to close its doors to the public but also lost more than half its workforce. This seemed to be a common theme throughout the events industry.

As the demand for conferences, hotel rooms, banquets, and restaurant dining plummeted, the continuing education part of the Georgia Center’s business kicked 39

into high gear. Since their first remote learning courses were established in July 2020, the Center has grown to offer more than 600 online courses in a variety of formats.

On top of running a successful online course program, the Georgia Center’s sales and events staff was fielding calls from clients who needed to cancel or reschedule upcoming events. The Center also reached out to all hotel guests that had reservations and event planners whose events had not been canceled, to inform them that the Georgia Center would reopen when it was deemed safe.

This is a great example of how the Georgia Center was proactive and not reactive when navigating a difficult situation.

The Georgia Center’s food and beverage staff stepped into the roles of moderator, technical support, and course builder. They were also trained on a host of other tasks to assist the continuing education and instructional design staff. This is truly a great example of their team-first mentality.

One of the Georgia Center’s key revenue sources is hosting two sessions of in-person Advanced Placement Summer Institute courses. The APSI programs are designed to provide high school teachers with the content and resources needed to lead successful AP courses and ensure that their students are prepared for the exams. With the help of the Center’s staff, they exceeded their expectations for 2020 and enrolled 452 teachers virtually – 14% more participants than in 2019 – during the scheduled two weeks of summer programming.

This same team from the continuing education, sales, events, food and beverage, and hotel departments successfully transitioned 27 camp programs to an online format for the first time in the 20 years since they began offering summer camps.

Once classes began in August it became apparent that there were many students who would be unable to safely return home to isolate or quarantine after being exposed to the virus. The hotel pivoted once again to house those students in a safe and comfortable space where they could have their needs met for the required quarantine period. Staff from every division was involved in creating the new routines and processes needed to ensure safe check-in and departures, ordering and delivery of meals, and much more to guarantee quality care for these students. In order to ensure these students’ comfort,

the Georgia Center’s housekeeping staff modified their already well-developed processes for touch-free delivery of toiletries and linens in order to accommodate the longer stays these students faced.

As restrictions began to lift in Georgia, the Georgia Center received inquiries to host parents for graduation and attendees for larger in-person conferences. The timetable to turn the hotel was very short – the last quarantining students moved out at the end of April and the Center’s first conference group came at the start of May. This meant the housekeeping staff had to pull out all the stops to thoroughly clean, prep, and disinfect all of the rooms and still leave a 24-hour “sitting” period per their protocols before those rooms became occupied again. As you have probably guessed, the Georgia Center’s dedicated staff successfully pulled off this feat.

The Georgia Center is well-equipped to dive head first into this new normal – hopefully without too many pivots in the near future. The staff is optimistic about their success, thanks to the strides they have made as an organization and the brilliant work navigating around obstacles. What an inspiring story to come out of an unconventional time. We applaud the Georgia Center’s “can do” attitude!
