[quote_box_center]This year\u2019s ibtm knowledge programme, delivered at ibtm world, promises to motivate global industry players with a series of sessions that have been lined up to challenge existing thought models and raise the bar when it comes to organising events across the globe (www.ibtmworld.com/knowledge).[/quote_box_center]
\nCommenting on the changing needs of industry education, Dr. Rob Davidson, Managing Director, MICE Knowledge and ibtm events industry analyst said, \u201cIn the past 12 months, there has been a huge move towards designing meetings to be much more multisensory and immersive than before.
\nThe science behind this trend tells us that the more participants\u2019 senses are stimulated, the more memorable the meeting experience will be for them, because more parts of their brains are activated, which in turn helps them to absorb and retain information more effectively.”
\nWhat Can We Learn From Immersive Events? – In this session, Deborah Armstrong, Managing Director of Strong & Co will discuss what exactly \u2018Immersive Events\u2019 mean in practice and why they are so important. Deborah will share key learnings around achieving meaningful and longer lasting engagement. Through careful analysis of good and bad practice this talk aims to show you how to do it right and what the future of Experiential holds.
\nEngagement at Events \u2013 in partnership with ISES – Engagement has long been a go-to phrase for event professionals but like many areas of our industry, there\u2019s little consensus on what it really means. This session, delivered by Kevin Jackson, Vice President EMEA, George P. Johnson and President of ISES UK will unpack what engagement at events is and more importantly how you get audiences leaning forward instead of leaning back.
\nAppetite For Change \u2013 Presented by Ivo Franschitz, Owner & Managing Director, ENITED Business Events and Vanessa Schmoranzer, Brand Leadership Consultant and Change Management Coach, ma\u00aekenkind.de, this session will address the shifting needs of professional business events and review them from the perspective of the host and of the participant.
\nFranschitz comments, \u201cAs a SME (small and medium-sized enterprise), we dared taking that risk and initiated a 14 month journey. Engaging professional, external expertise and committing ourselves to a roller coaster ride called change management. Throughout, we gained invaluable insights and experiences, many of them very up-close and personal. In this workshop, we want to share those experiences and convey to you a clear message: \u201cChange = Opportunity\u201d. We want to stimulate your appetite for change.\u201d
