Earlier this year, RRN held an EEA YouTube show on Reimaging Business Meetings and Incentive Travel in the Post Covid Era. Recently, Andrea Doyle, Executive Editor of Skift Meetings, published a piece How Conferences Are Failing Their Attendees, identifying the same need to rethink live events now that people can enjoy great keynote speakers and the best panel discussions whenever or wherever they are in the mood.
This show set for June 28 at 1 pm ET will delve deeper into specific ways organizations can reformat live events to make them more meaningful. To register, click here.
The host is Bruce Bolger, Founder, Enterprise Engagement Alliance. Panelists are Andrea Doyle, Executive Editor, Skift Meetings; Jaki Baskow, Founder, Baskow Talent, Las Vegas; Ira Ozer, Founder, Innovation Meetings, Melissa Van Dyke, Senior Vice President, Integrated Marketing and Innovation, Creative Group Inc.
This show brings together meeting and content planners from different perspectives passionate about face-to-face experiences to discuss specific ways meetings and incentive travel can be redesigned to make them more engaging in the era of podcasts and live video and streaming. Evidence is growing that most people prefer to travel to experience new or beloved places, refresh or make new relationships, learn from each other, and to be inspired and recharged, rather than sit in auditoriums or meeting rooms to listen to speakers and panelists they can hear on demand.
Panelists will address specifically how organizations can make sure that they achieve their purpose, goals and objectives while ensuring that event attendees have a compelling reason to travel. How can organizations better achieve the purpose, goals, and objectives of their meetings and incentive programs in a way that optimizes the desire to attend, the rewards of attending, and the ROI to the event sponsors and attendees?
Specific topics include:
- Is it time to take a fresh look at the importance of measuring return on investment versus purpose goals, and objectives?
- Keynotes and panels. How best to make use of keynotes and industry experts when often there are as many experts in the room?. We'll look at tactics for putting more of a spotlight on attendees.
- Corporate Social Responsibility. New, more engaging ways to weave the local community into events that creates authentic experiences and helps the local economy.
- Star power. More compelling ways for attendees to engage more personally with experts and celebrities.
- Rethinking entertainment—should it be dancing in their seats or dancing in the streets?
- Collaboration and innovation—getting something done to support the organizational purpose.
- Making it last: creating a year-round experience.
