Venue Professional magazine will publish in a digital format only through the end of IAVM’s fiscal year of March 31, 2021. The decision comes as the Association — like most of its members — faces challenges in producing events, a key component in IAVM revenues. A decision will be made at that time as to when the magazine can resume publishing in print.
The magazine has published digitally for years as a companion to the print magazine. Several new columns have been added to the magazine since the July/August issue, in addition to the name change from Facility Manager to Venue Professional.
The publication remains dedicated to providing IAVM members the news, information, and entertainment they want to help guide them professionally and even personally.
Please know that the goal is to resume printing the magazine as soon as fiscally possible. Print is quite costly and as not only stewards of your membership dues but in an effort to help maintain a staff to be able to meet your needs, the decision is sensible and logical during these difficult and challenging time of COVID-19 and as our industry tries to move towards reopening.
We will continue to remain in communication with you should there be further developments to announced regarding Venue Professional and its publishing situation. In the meantime, please know we will NOT sacrifice any of the coverage of the people and news in our fantastic industry.
