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

15 November 2022 13:30 to 14:45 Conference room Plenary Conference

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?

The return of the party

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

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?

Audience engagement: how to make your event memorable in remote, physical and hybrid environments?

15 November 2022 15:00 to 16:00 Bar Lounge Workshop

Organized by SPARKUP

During the pandemic, virtual events increased dramatically. Today, these are gradually being abandoned and do not seem to be living up to the expectations of audiences. At the same time, audiences want fewer constraints and face-to-face events are seeing an increased risk of no-shows.

So how do you rethink your events to create experiences that live up to your audiences' expectations? Engaging experiences that make your participants want to come and stay, whatever the format: virtual, hybrid or face-to-face.

The licensed Immersive Escape Game : Dama Dreams - creating emotions

15 November 2022 16:00 to 17:00 Bar Lounge Workshop

Organized by DAMA DREAMS

The evolution of the escape game and immersive experiences in France, since 2018, is a reality. The escape game has now been well established in France for several years, but the question on everyone's mind is: what next?

Dama Dreams anticipated this and positioned itself on several brand licenses with strong French and international impact.

How did we get here? How do you set up a licensed escape game in France? Does escape game 2.0 require a more immersive approach, including immersive theatre?

In the presence of Emmanuel Teboul, co-founder of Dama Dreams, and thanks to the speeches of our various speakers, you will learn more about the licensed immersive escape game and the company Dama Dreams, a forerunner on the escape game 2.0 market!

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

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

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?

Open session 2: The events sector and the labour shortage: which solutions to face the needs?

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

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?

What opportunities does the metaverse offer?

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

Social XR, Web3, NFTs, DAO... Many companies today say they are thinking about integrating the possibilities offered by the various components of the metaverse into their event strategy. The applications and opportunities seem to be 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 NFTs, virtual, mixed or augmented reality, or CAD? What are the successful operations that have already been carried out?

ADVENTURE SHOW by les Coqs en Pâte

16 November 2022 14:00 to 15:00 Bar Lounge Workshop

Organized by LES COQ EN PÂTE

Come and discover a new team building format !

An incredible animation on the border between a quiz, an escape game and a story in which you are the hero.

The participants are divided into teams (here in person, but also possible online or hybrid) and they all play the same adventure simultaneously, pushing them to exchange and interact a maximum for more cohesion, reflection and challenge.

Guided by a live anim'actor who immerses you in a hyper immersive story, you will help a remote person to advance in his quest. He has a camera on his head and you can follow him on the ground, in the street, hidden in a car, on the roofs of Paris or in a museum.

So are you ready for the adventure ?

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

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?

The trend of immersive events

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

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?

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.

CSR: how to get involved in the current context?

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

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?

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

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.

How to ensure the security of your event and its participants? Between legal obligations and the feeling of insecurity, what are the recommended devices?
