Marriott reignites meetings & events

MARRIOTT International hosted its largest in-person customer event since the start of the pandemic last week, The Exchange – All for One.

Held from 24-27 Aug at Walt Disney World in Orlando, The Exchange brought together nearly 800 attendees, including corporate and association meeting professionals, as well as Marriott executives and sales professionals.

The Exchange aimed to reignite the meetings and events sector, and gave Marriott a chance to showcase its Connect with Confidence protocols.

All attendees were required to provide either COVID-19 vaccine validation or proof of a negative COVID-19 test in advance of the event, submitted using the CLEAR application’s Health Pass feature.

The Exchange also illustrated to attendees how they can host in-person events, while prioritising attendees’ wellbeing, as the COVID-19 landscape continues to evolve.
