On second thought . . . now they say they will not spin-off the motivation business, but will instead spin-off the guy who ran it:

Going to be hard to recover for them, their core business just isn't really viable anymore and probably will never recover. Business travel is likely never going to be what it was.

^Everyone said the same thing after 9-11. In spite of that, it recovered. Some things can be done remotely. Others cannot. And face to face contact will always have certain advantages. This recovery will be slower, and likely different. But I very much believe it will happen. We like moving. We like being social. It's pretty much baked into being human. We're all a little traumatized right now, but our grandchildren likely won't be. (Or children or great grandchildren, depending on age.)

Business Journal is reporting that Maritz has won back all the business they lost during Covid. This is great news; I really thought they were a gonner there for a while.
