Today is World Mental Health Day. The 2026 WHO theme is "Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change."

Listening matters, but so does giving people a seat at the table. For our community of venue professionals, this is a reminder to check in on your teams and colleagues, and to make space for their voices in the decisions that shape their work.

Happy National Coffee Day!

Venue professionals know that coffee isn't just a beverage. It's practically an operational necessity.

From 5 a.m. load-ins to midnight load-outs, coffee has been the silent partner in countless successful events.

Today, we’re raising our mugs to the unofficial MVP of the venue management industry! ☕️☕️

This Labor Day, we're celebrating the venue managers, event staff, security teams, ushers, and behind-the-scenes crews who make every show, game, and gathering happen. Your work builds the moments people remember.

Thank you for the work you do, seven days a week, event after event. 👏👏

🎆 Happy Independence Day from IAVM! 🎆

This Fourth of July, we're celebrating the venues, teams, and crews who make America's biggest gatherings possible — from fireworks shows over packed stadiums to outdoor concerts, festivals, and hometown parades. Behind every spectacular celebration is a venue management team working hard to keep it safe, smooth, and memorable.

To everyone in our IAVM community working this holiday: thank you for what you do. Wishing you and your families a happy, safe, and proud Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
