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!
