Are trade show and convention organizers really turning into professional community leaders?

Trade shows and conferences have not yet all returned to their pre-crisis levels, either in terms of number of booths or attendance. This encourages some to evolve their positioning towards what is now commonly called community animation. What does this involve? What new developments are organizers embarking on? What is the place of the flagship show or conference in the system? What is the impact on exhibitors and visitors?

Speakers:

The return of the party

In recent months, many events of a festive and convivial nature have been held. While they were the cradle of the event industry, they had not resisted the development of more serious, more strategic events. Why this return? Has the party been reintegrated into corporate strategies for a long time, encouraged by new work organizations? What are the elements of a successful party?

Speakers:

15 November 2022 16:30 to 18:00 Conference room Plenary Conference

Programme and speakers to be announced soon 

16 November 2022 10:30 to 11:45 Bar Lounge Plenary Conference

Open session 1 : Event managers in companies, come and share your best practices!

Are you an event director or manager for a company, advertiser or brand? Come and discuss with your colleagues about your role, the scope of your responsibilities, the stress, the joys and difficulties of your job, your relationships with your event suppliers... Share your demands, your expectations, your exasperations too... How did you get through these two years of crisis and this recovery? How do you see the evolution of events and the impact it will have on your missions?

16 November 2022 12:00 to 13:15 Bar Lounge Plenary Conference

Open session 2: Does the event industry suffer from a lack of attractiveness?

It is estimated that between 20 and 30% of event professionals have changed jobs during the pandemic crisis. All companies in the sector are experiencing difficulties in recruiting. Training programs are not filling up. Talents are becoming scarce and more expensive, which leads to fierce competition and a sometimes brutal mercato. Salaries are increasing. Stressful and engaging, are the professions in the sector discredited? Do they meet the aspirations of the new generations? How can we face these difficulties and structure ourselves to respond to the positive evolution of the business and to the major deadlines to come?

16 November 2022 14:00 to 14:50 Conference room Plenary Conference

What opportunities does Web3 offer?

Metaverse, blockchain, NFT, DAO... Many companies say they are now thinking about integrating the possibilities offered by Web3 in their event strategy. Clearly, Web3 developments seem to be very numerous, but have yet to be clearly identified. As Bill Gates claims, will the majority of future business exchanges take place in the metaverse? Why should the event industry be interested in NFT, the metaverse or even DAO? What are the successful operations that have already been done?

Speaker:

Nicolas DUDKOWSKI
Co-founder & Founding Partner – DOUBLE 2 & THE BANNER

16 November 2022 15:00 to 15:50 Conference room Plenary Conference

What business and opportunities can we expect from the 2024 Olympic Games?

2024 will certainly be marked by the Olympic and Paralympic Games hosted in Paris, but their impact will go beyond the Parisian capital. How do companies exploit the most talked-about sporting event of all? To what extent will the Olympic Games generate business for the event industry? What can we expect in terms of mobilization of event principals? How can we meet the demand? Who will be able to take advantage of it? How can we prepare for the event?

16 November 2022 16:00 to 16:50 Conference room Plenary Conference

The trend of immersive events

Immersing your audience in a powerful experience... This is a demand that many event organizers have today. Large 360° images, 3D, virtual or augmented reality, but also spatialized sound or stimulation of the sense of smell, immersive devices rely on ever-changing experiential technologies. How does this wave of immersion express itself? How does it allow an original transmission of messages? What are the rules to respect in order to astonish your audience?

16 November 2022 17:00 to 18:00 Conference room Plenary Conference

Why do brands rush to festivals? What are the opportunities?

This is not a new phenomenon, but brands are appearing more and more on festivals, seeking to develop a close relationship with their consumers, especially the younger generations. What are organizers doing to attract advertisers? What is possible to do and what is not? How to emerge and what are the winning experiential devices?

17 November 2022 10:30 to 11:20 Conference room Plenary Conference

The return in force of an incentive in full revival

With two years of crisis and the development of telecommuting, companies need to (re)federate their teams or (re)build strong links with their customers or their sales networks. What are the new needs that the pandemic has brought to light? What is the recipe for a successful incentive? What are the expected evolutions?

17 November 2022 11:30 to 12:45 Conference room Plenary Conference

CSR: how to get involved in the current context?

In the event frenzy of Q2 2022, CSR seems to have received a little less consideration. "No time to adopt sustainable or positive impact solutions", we hear here and there. Moreover, the labeling of the World Cup in Qatar has brought ISO 20121 into disrepute. How can we build a CSR strategy that has an impact, is visible and does not involve greenwashing? Is the event industry doomed to the status quo? How can actors massively commit to positive policies in terms of waste, carbon consumption and social impact?

Speakers:

17 November 2022 13:30 to 14:30 Conference room Plenary Conference

Security: how to meet the new requirements of organizers and the public?

The affair of the Champions League soccer final at the Stade de France last May revealed major flaws in the design and application of security instructions. The entire security chain failed. Moreover, with the circulation of viruses, the risk of attack or other potential inconveniences, the demands of the public in large and small events are increasingly high. How to ensure the security of your event and its participants? Between legal obligations and the feeling of insecurity, what are the recommended devices?
