Attending IMEX last week was awesome however, been part of the Future Leaders Forum was extra special as I had the chance to connect with new generations eager to enter the complex but equally fascinating world of events! I got many learnings throughout the show, but herewith my top 5: 1.    THE POWER OF PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS: in a post-pandemic era, witnessing how much this is valued from both, clients and suppliers alike is positively overwhelming! 2.    APPS, DIGI-TOOLS, A.I. AND BEYOND: Yep “evenTech” is here to stay and help but not to replace human creativity and that magic that any event needs, just remember one thing…who needs to feed and manage all those ultra-techy tools? 3.    SUSTAINABILITY IS NOT A CHOICE: Producing all our events environmentally friendly is a responsibility and not a trend anymore…yes let’s get rid of tons of useless SWAG still circulating around 4.    EDUTAIMENT: few years ago everybody talked about gamification to make sessions more “fun”, now is all about “educating while entertaining” another buzzword which makes total sense: shorter, interactive, instructive and innovative presentations! 5.    DIVERSITY, EQUALITY AND INCLUSIVITY IS KEY: while our industry is rapidly recovering, financially speaking, same speed is no applicable for DEI implementation. We all, from planners to venues to exhibitors, have more work to do to ensure our sector becomes increasingly inclusive, diverse and safer for all of us. Looking forward to "bring it back/sing it back" all this in 2025! #IMEXFrankfurt #IMEX #Events #Congress #Conventions #Conferences #Forums #AV #Venues #Eventproducers 🙌

We want to share with you the secrets of a successful conference. Planning is key. Starting early allows every detail to be fine-tuned to perfection, ensuring the event runs smoothly. 📅 The choice of place is essential.

Keeping attendees informed about every aspect of the event creates an atmosphere of trust and expectation. 📢 Finally, post-event follow-up is crucial. Collecting feedback and learning from each experience allows us to improve and exceed expectations in future conferences. 📊 We hope that these tips are useful to you and contribute to the success of your future conferences. 📍C/ Francesc Carbonell 36, local. 08034 Barcelona (Spain) 📞93 206 04 04 📧ecis@ecis-dmc.com 🌐https://lnkd.in/daxxTWtK #ecis #team #work #innovation #barcelona #goals #events

Go niche to go mainstream. Standing out is more important than ever in today's globalised world, where options are endless and attention spans are short. But how do you capture the attention of a discerning audience? The answer is in the opening statement, even if it might seem counterintuitive. Our mission at Italian Special Occasions DMC & Events has always been to showcase Italy's rich culture and artistic heritage through authentic, tailored, and off-the-beaten-path events and experiences. We’ve embraced the idea that focusing on niche offerings – whether a hidden gem in a remote village, a private tour of an artist's studio, or a culinary experience in a lesser-known region – creates something far more valuable than a generic event. Why does this approach work? 🤔 1. Authenticity resonates. People crave authenticity in a sea of sameness. By curating unique, localised experiences, we connect our clients not just with Italy but with the country's soul. 2. Tailored experiences speak louder. When an experience is designed specifically for an individual or a group, it becomes memorable. Our clients leave with stories that are theirs alone, stories that resonate deeply and spread organically. 3. Niche equals expertise. By specialising in Italy's hidden treasures, my expertise is appreciated by those who seek something different and attracts a broader audience who values depth and quality. In embracing a niche approach, we’ve found that we don't need to chase the mainstream. It comes to Italian Special Occasions DMC & Events. As we continue to push boundaries and deliver out-of-the-box, innovative, and impactful experiences, we stay true to our vision: promoting a positive change in how people connect with Italy’s cultural and artistic heritage. -- Are you curious to learn more about our niche offerings?

🌏 ⛰ Act local, think global, be ready to explore 🚀 Bolzano Slush’D is currently brewing exciting new developments for the next edition, and as part of this process, our team is onsite at Helsinki for Slush 2024—not just as spectators. Our CEO, Cristian Frigo, took the stage alongside other Slush'D members from around the world in the panel "Scaling Nordic Innovation: Strategies for Global Impact and Influence." The panel brought together ecosystem builders from across Europe, including our chapters in Bolzano, Bilbao, and Ghent, to explore what makes Nordic innovation a global game-changer. 👉 What we take away from this: 🔺 Slush'D chapters reach their full potential by focusing on local issues and their communities, while leveraging the support of Slush. 🔺Building an ecosystem is about mastering the fundamentals of cross-collaboration. 🔺To do so, it’s crucial that every role in the local ecosystem is empowered to contribute actively—not just participate in the Slush'D experience. A big thanks to Xes Helsinki for the invitation! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stella Korpikuusi Elena Popovici David Cabezon Egurrola Nathan De Troyer #Slush #ScalingImpact
