- ALL of the elements you need to consider for COVID safety including headset mics, sound checks, laptop setup, stage entrance/exit, and more.
- There are going to be mistakes, but do the best you can to stay as safe as possible.
- If you don’t reference COVID in your talk, people may think you’re choosing to ignore it. When there’s a pink elephant in the room, talk about it.

"So you have to look really deep inside and realize that as a parent, as a community member, as a member of a country or a member of an industry, this is tough, but we're going to figure this out. It may be really different. It may be longer than we think, we don't know the date, and you may not know the date either, but we're going to hang in there. And we are going to see this through and we will rise again. — Jim Davidson
