Budgets dictate just how much tech can be integrated into the daily run of a show and its content, but planners agree it would be nearly impossible to manage events on the back end without some type of technology.

A crisis management plan ensures all stakeholders — attendees, presenters, vendors, event and venue staff — are safe, informed and respond accordingly.

Planning that first event can be daunting, but with enough preparation, clear expectations on all sides and a roadmap to meet those expectations, it can be a rousing success.

Career setbacks can shake the confidence of the most seasoned pro, but viewing them with the right perspective can help you stage your comeback much quicker.

By knowing the audience, leveraging local partnerships, and bringing some creativity to the mix, planners can bring local flair to virtually any event.

Different ways of boosting event engagement translate into better collaboration and innovation when attendees get back to work.

“Health & wellness” is more than an expression for the meetings and events industry — it’s become a driving force.

From smaller venues that can accommodate more intimate gatherings comfortably, to sprawling convention centers that regularly host trade shows and global meetings and events, there is truly something available for any type of gathering anywhere in the world.
