<h2>BondBands</h2>People are still anxious about socializing even after more than two years in isolation. The rituals around greeting someone can be nerve-wracking nowadays. It's stressful being around people and not knowing their social distancing preferences. Do you go in for a handshake? A fist bump? An awkward little wave? An unfriendly step back? ​<a href="https://www.bondbands.ca" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">BondBands</a> wanted to fix this problem and offer individuals the opportunity to communicate their preferences on social distancing in a fun and effective way. Beer &amp; Analytics is excited to be partnering with BondBands to offer a simple solution to the socializing predicament amid the pandemic. Upon arrival at Beer &amp; Analytics, attendees can pick up either a red, yellow, or green bracelet to subtly indicate to others their preferred level of social interaction.
