This presentation gives participants insight into the most important research results from the ‘Future Meeting Space’ project, which highlights new paths in event planning.
Among other things, the participants learn about current and future meeting scenarios and requirements for events, what factors are crucial to success and how these mutually influence each other. In addition, they learn about the different types of participants and how the use of various methodological and technological elements of events affect knowledge transfer, learning success, networking and experiential value in these participants.

Will brand experiences take place only in the virtual world in the digital age? Will live communication become the dinosaur of corporate communication? Certainly not! Our customers want to experience emotions – but this raises the question of what future scenarios will look like. How will the live communication formats be reinvented in the age of digitalisation in response to the changed expectations of our trade show visitors and event participants? These are exciting issues in our industry – experts will engage in dialogue on these topics in the fishbowl. Join the discussion!
