Seminars, webinars & networking events

A chance to pause, re-frame the big issues of now and look ahead to the coming challenges for NZ's  #eventprofs

Plus, get in some pre-Christmas networking post-seminar!  

Tuesday 16 February, 4:00pm to 6:00pm

Round out the year with a multi-perspective look at the forces working on our industry right now, and what's likely to inform your planning for 2021.

• Policy and process - Policies affecting the immediate future and looking ahead to impacts of legislation. What is the government saying about the industry? Where can we collectively make an impact? 
• A hybrid future - is it? Both in-person and virtual - are there market trends at work, or is it all a pandemic response? Online and offline audience mix, exclusive vs open, scalability and the social media interaction.
• Threats and opportunities - scaling events. Delivering revenue from virtual and hybris events. Bringing together stakeholder engagement, timing, and preparation for large and small scales. 
• Attendee expectations - Will demand bounce back? If you build it, will they come? Is the perception of safety restored? And how will the domestic tourism driver play out?
• Future focus - Including adapting to the new landscape, the role of industry associations, meeting the technological challenges of events as well as sustainability, inclusion and attracting talent to meet demand.
