\u201dThe MICE industry is a fast-growing industry in our country in the past 10 years. As Turkish Airlines, we are aware of the importance of the MICE and with this awareness our products are constantly being improved in line with the feedback from the sector. Turkish Airlines has decided to become a name sponsor for the ACE of M.I.C.E. Exhibition in 2017, the only fair for the MICE industry in our country, successfully organized in the past years in order to increase the support we have given to our sector.
\nWe believe that the impact of the ACE of M.I.C.E. by Turkish Airlines will be great as the positive trend that Istanbul has captured in the sector in recent years has continued. At the same time, the fair also has an important place in the introduction of Istanbul, our hub and the emergence of new business opportunities. Thanks to ACE of M.I.C.E.

\n1.\u00a0 Content Gets Bigger as Attention Spans Grow Shorter
\nThe incredible growth of YouTube, TED and short, sharp TV and video news clips (including the birth of super-bite-sized Vine) means attention spans are shorter than ever. Four minutes is a lifetime online. Expect meetings and event content to be delivered in ever more entertaining, diverse and digestible pieces.
\n2.\u00a0 Happiness is Hip
\n![](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/imex_5.jpg\")
IMEX America 2013 MPI Keynote, CEO & Chief Happiness Officer of Delivering Happiness, Jenn Lim, was on trend when she urged her audience to think of happiness as a science that can be applied at work. \u201cWhen values, vision and purpose in individuals and organizations come together, the impact can be so positive, and it\u2019s about much more than a happy worker being a productive worker,\u201d she said.
\nExpect more organizations to embrace happiness as their ethos for growth in 2014.
\n3. Technology Connects the Dots
\nMany big technology advances have been made, now they need to be managed. Coburn, CEO of DoubleDutch expects \u201cthe bandwidth of Apps to get lighter\u201d, where Owen sees regulation and standards coming into play, such as through the new Apex Standards. He\u2019s also clear that the future is \u201cnot about more technology but how that technology is delivered.\u201d

4. Social Media Shifts Up, Out and Everywhere
In 2014 social media starts to receive its own budget, and begins to play a meaningful and measurable part in marketing and communications strategies across the meetings and events industry.
\n5. \u201cGlocal\u201d \u2013\u00a0 Helping Hands on Your Doorstep
\nWhere once the international nature of the meetings industry meant thousands of opportunities to \u2018do good and give back\u2019 in far flung corners of the world, the trend now is to reach out to help those right on your doorstep.
\n6. Meetings Sector as Leading Economic Indicator
\nCould 2014 be the year when the meetings and events industry is finally recognized as an important economic indicator? Dan Berger, CEO of Social Tables declared at IMEX America, \u201cThose of us in the industry know that when meetings and events start to rise they are the pulse of growth.\u201d
\n7. Workplace diversity
\nWhere once a hot conversation topic was demographic shift and what that meant for the global meetings and events market, now the big debate of 2014 looks set to be \u2018workplace diversity\u2019. Organizations are having to look at their recruitment and talent development strategies with more creativity, and awareness.
