SUMC created the National Shared Mobility Summit a decade ago in response to new shared mobility modes and the growing shared mobility industry. The mobility landscape has evolved since then. In response, we consider it our responsibility to reimagine and adapt how we convene. We bring shared mobility practitioners and researchers together to make our communities more equitable, sustainable, and accessible. So, we are reimagining the best way to convene changemakers. How can we give you better value as travel budgets get tighter? How can we make the experience more meaningful, relevant, and accessible? Help us reimagine how we convene the shared mobility sector with this five-minute survey to understand the value that current conferences bring you and the biggest barriers you face.

Really looking forward to being on stage again this week. Firstly, discussing how our work with QualifyAI is helping our sister agency @ThePineappleLounge bring the power of AI to the world of kid's research (and the appropriate considerations we need to be mindful of) and then to take part in a lively debate with Niall Smith Danny Russell Rebecca Cole and Jack Bowen about how we encourage and drive transformation in insight by being less scared about failing. From how we can do more within agencies to foster a culture of experimentation, and why it seems so much more acceptable in other industries (tech especially), to how clients can help give us the confidence to be braver to. Might even use the chance to ask Danny when a client asks for 'new and innovative' but then turns you down for being 'too new and innovative' what's your next move? See you there at the Association for Survey Computing (ASC) International Conference on Wednesday. Stage times 12pm and 3.30pm.

Demonstrating confidence at events Change Days Barcelona, Valencia Digital Summit, Professional Speakers Association – Grow Convention Barcelona Last week I attended Change Days Barcelona and Valencia Digital Summit(VDS), back to back . Change Days was attended by 40 people VDS by several thousand. This Saturday (Nov 9)Next week at Professional Speakers Association Grow Convention Barcelona. Presentation Skills I have learnt that less is more. As a member of the Professional Speakers Association we learn that it’s better to use no slides, but if you must, use slides with very little content especially words. But at VDS these are techies . Every slide a wiring diagram, no time to read given by the presenter, or the presenter read it to you. – and you are supposed to know all the acronyms . No facilities for slides at Change Days. Each presenter drew you in by the force of their personality. Levels of participation In both cases, at certain times, there were 6 events going on at once. A stark contrast was, at Change Days everyone was totally committed to fully attend each offering, phones off, no laptops . In the auditoria at VDS– whether a panel was exchanging views or a single speaker was presenting almost 80% of the mainly male audience was not only browsing their phones but actively using their laptops. Hard to believe that hardly anyone found a compelling presentation given the great choice. I admit to not being enthralled about “How many microchips there are in the world” or “how I rescued a failing e-bike business” but those are personal views. However at Change Days learning about KungFu Breathing and How to Marry Yourself was totally engaging. At Change Days there were four Smart Coaching & Training associates, all of whom presented , Jessica Brightfield , Caroline Dream, and Sheona Della-Fort Read full article here https://lnkd.in/dQjQkAxY The next weekend it will be my third Professional Speakers Association Convention. I am pleased to presenting on Diversity along with fellow Smart Coaching & Associate Ricardo Cabete and 15 other speakers. It will be like a combination of the two previous events. It’s worthwhile to have invested the time in the past to know these experts and to be fully confident in their presence. Why not come along on November 9th and improve your confidence? https://lnkd.in/dsSa6x5V

Most conferences are boring 😒. You see the same faces speaking over and over again *yawn* very dull! 🥱 But here's the good news: we fixed that problem. With ProductCamp Amsterdam, that will never happen because it's an unconference. Here are the main differences between unconference and regular conferences: 1. You decide on the conference's topics, not the conference organizers. 2. Zero chance of seeing the same faces speaking, because the conferences attendees will be the ones doing the talking. 3. Less theoretical talks and fluff, because you'll mostly hear from people still in the trenches. 4. There will be enough opportunity to network because most of the sessions will be highly interactive, so you will get to know many people during the 'talks', making chatting afterwards easier. 5. No conference talks by people because they are sponsoring the event. If you're done passively listening and want to join in, then please come to ProductCamp Amsterdam on Sunday November 17th. How does an unconference work: 1. All the participants propose sessions they are willing to host or would like to attend in different formats. 2. Everyone votes on the sessions they'd like to attend. 3. The sessions are divided based on the popularity of the different meeting rooms. 4. We make a program for the day on the spot, and everyone chooses which session they'll attend. So, do we know what ProductCamp Amsterdam 2024 will be about? Nope, we don't. That's all in your hands, and that's precisely what makes it awesome. So don't be sad when you see another conference with the same faces, attend an unconference and choose to be awesome instead! We can tell you there will be one amazing keynote speaker, who will be announced soon. The rest of the magic will be up to you.

A lot has changed in the mobility industry and mobility conference space since SUMC launched our annual National Shared Mobility Summit. That’s why we’re reimagining our annual Summit–to ensure our events and convenings are as valuable as the first time we brought the sector together. This involves surveying our community to gather insights on the current value, missing elements, and pain points of large events. We appreciate you taking this five-minute survey so we can understand the value that current conferences bring you and the biggest barriers you face. Your feedback will help inform future SUMC convenings. Take the survey: https://ow.ly/Gly250RezO4
