After spending the last 15 years in the Netherlands, I can truly say it has become my new home. From earning my degree to advancing in global organizations, this country has been the backdrop to my personal and professional growth.

Welcome to: World Pharma Brand Managers Day – 2025. Please mark your diaries Why did we say goodbye to virtual events? We heard you loud and clear. And the three top reasons you gave us are… ·        Lack of human connection: Online formats often fail to replicate the networking and spontaneous interactions of in-person events.   ·        Oversaturation: The initial novelty has worn off, and the market is flooded with mediocre offerings, diminishing perceived value.   ·        Screen fatigue: Prolonged exposure to virtual environments has led to mental exhaustion and decreased engagement.  

💡 Did you know that 72% of event organisers agree that in-person events are a crucial part of their marketing strategy? Let's look into why 🔽 1️⃣ Over 90% of people are more likely to buy a particular product or service after having participated in a brand activation or experience. Put simply, you are providing an invaluable offering by being face to face with multiple prospective clients 2️⃣ Let's face it, nothing drives results like team alignment. Internal events such as Sales Kick Offs and General Kick Off's align your internal team and ensure everybody is working towards the same goal whilst feeling valued, supported and appreciated 3️⃣ In-person events align both internal and external stake holders and act as a catalyst for change 4️⃣ In-person events allow leadership to be seen and more importantly, to be heard. Teams having 1-1 time with their senior stakeholders instills trust, confidence and engagement 5️⃣ I won't mention the well overused C word, however since the pandemic I think we all agree that nothing beats good old face-to-face interaction which in-person events allow. You get the opportunity to form strong relationships, show your personality and actually enjoy peoples company! To read more about this, check out our article linked in the comments 🚀
