Readers sought practical advice like examples of creative ways to render a logo or new ideas for cocktails stations to coverage of mega events like Coachella, South by Southwest, Lollapalooza, Comic-Con, and TED. Our "summer of social media" proved popular, as we shared our picks for event pros to follow in categories from caterers to lighting and audiovisual producers.

But, by far, the most popular story was the BizBash Top 1000 People in the U.S. Event Industry. Originally appearing in our Fall 2019 issue, the list featured people with the biggest impact and influence on meetings and events across the United States. (Stay tuned for the Canadian version.)
