It seems as though people are busier than ever nowadays, with infinite choices of how to spend their time, their money, and their attention. That means people and companies that host face-to-face events such as conferences, trade shows, and meetings are challenged to provide value and relevance for every person they are trying to bring through their doors.
As marketing expert Seth Godin said: “No one accidentally goes to a conference. No one accidentally finds themselves at a convention. The people who are there are choosing to be there; they are choosing to pay attention … treat that attention like the privilege that it is.”
For our annual list of the most innovative meetings, we uncovered how these types of events, from a wide range of industries, are succeeding in creating meaningful experiences for attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and other stakeholders.
