What happens when event communication breaks down? Not only will that impact the venue employees and the event planner, but it can also significantly impact the satisfaction of the event attendees - and in a world where reputation is everything, that leads to problems to your bottom line.

The ADA covers everything from the number of rooms that needed to be accessible to guests who are deaf or hard-of-hearing to requirements for fire alarms and other safety equipment to TV captioning. Here are a few things to double check that you have available to hearing-impaired guests:

From the dawn of time, mankind has speculated what the future will bring. For some time now, no vision of the future has been sans robots. We’ve all imagined a time in the future when cute anthropomorphic robots like R2D2 and BB8 would be a regular part of life or each family would have their own C3PO tending to the chores and piping up with useless bits of information.
