The Innovative Association: Learning From Others' Success
WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Association executives and supplier partners.
Innovation has been described as the ability
to see change as an opportunity, not a threat.
Throughout history, those industries that have
failed to embrace change paid the price. The
meetings and events industry is undergoing
enormous change, creating an unprecedented
need for innovation, both evolutionary and
revolutionary. Join us for this participatory
discussion and help identify opportunities for
innovation in associations.
After attending this session, participants will
be able to:
• Identify different kinds of innovation.
• Assess return-on-innovation.
• Create a customized innovation plan.
PRESENTER: John Nawn, founder and CEO,
The Perfect Meeting
EDUCATION FORMAT: Hands-on, interactive
audience engagement.
Trends In Virtual And Hybrid
Events
WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Association
professionals and suppliers that want more
information about virtual and hybrid events.
From audio casts to webinars to hybrid events
to virtual tradeshows and conferences, the
continuum of digital events continues to grow.
Regardless of the type of digital event, two
factors stand out: the level of audience interac-
tion and the effectiveness of the ability to
engage. Increasingly, hybrid and virtual events
are integrating with social networks to allow
participants to engage friends and followers.
During this session, you'll discuss a hybrid or
virtual strategy and the steps necessary for a
successful event from the Virtual Playbook.
