Cultivating Creativity with Joshua Abelson of The Industrial Event Space
On this episode of the Hospitality Leaders podcast, I’m joined by Joshua Abelson, Co-Owner and General Manager of The Industrial Event Space.
Joshua’s business is defined by its creativity. The Industrial Event Space works with clients to create truly unique events for each and every customer. That embedded creativity allowed Joshua to adapt well to Covid-19, putting on non-traditional events that let customers continue to gather and enjoy an entertainment experience in a safe and accessible way.
While some venues may be trying to return to business as usual in a post-pandemic world, Joshua wants to continue to push the boundaries of what entertainment can be. For him, the forced pivot during the pandemic was an opportunity to stretch his creativity, and it showed him what future events could look like.
To Joshua, the future of hospitality is in the continued pursuit of those non-traditional guest experiences. Businesses shouldn’t try to replicate past standards but push future boundaries.
For those willing to put in the work and expend the creative energy to serve clients on an individual level, the avenues for success are endless.
