The new Talking Point, which reflects an industry shift towards delivering \u201cmemorable moments\u201d instead of meetings, and \u201cexperi\u00adences\u201d not events, will be explo\u00adred throughout the show, which takes place 16th to 18th May 2017 is in addition to the education programme and its ten tracks, many networking events and extensive exhibition.
\nCarina Bauer, CEO, IMEX group, explains: \u201cAny event planner who cares about their craft and truly wants to have a competitive edge will be excited to dig deeper into the IMEX Purposeful Meetings Talking Point. Our chief focus is always going to be on bringing buyers and sellers together, face to face, in the most efficient and\u00a0enjoyable way possible. But, from a strategic point of view, having an annual IMEX Talking Point, or headline theme, will inject more immediacy, stronger direction and a clearer distinction between each show year to year.\u201d
\nThe IMEX Group has also entered into a three\u00adyear agreement with EventCanvas.org Foundation which allows IMEX to offer Event Design Certification to selected participants. The certification trai\u00adning will be offered free of charge and provides planners from across the world with a common language for designing more innovative \u2013and purposeful \u2013 events.
\nThe Event Design Certificationis part of a new pre\u00adshow educati\u00adon programme taking place on\u00a0Monday 15thMay, the day before the show. Free of charge and open to all, the day will incorporate five core streams covering event design, future trends and supplier education.
\nThe popular Association Day also takes place the day before the show, offering free, tailored edu\u00adcation exclusively for association professionals.
\nThe IMEX Association Day program\u00adme has been redesigned for 2017 and will feature a new Association Management Stream, covering topics such as understanding why members leave and how to persu\u00adade them to stay.There will now be two Meetings & Events Streams (A and B), discus\u00adsing issues such as how to maxim\u00adise member participation at your events, and how to identify and approach new sponsors.
\nExclusively Corporate at #IMEX17, the dedicated event for corporate meeting planners and event mar\u00adketers, has also been redeveloped for IMEX in Frankfurt this year. Tailored to address some of the\u00a0challenges faced by planners, there is a full day of networking and free education on topics such as deliv\u00adering ROI, creative event formats, new technologies, security risk and emerging destinations and trends.\u00a0After a series of group sessions, the education then splits into two streams with sessions on strategic global programme management for senior event professionals and operational issues for event managers.
\nEmanuele Caprarelli, Meeting & Event Planner at CROMSOURCE, Italy, who attended the event last year explains: \u201cThis event is about getting us to think. To remind us not get stuck in our own ways of doing things. It\u2019s also good to meet people here. I\u2019ve been in touch with people I met here at the event two years ago, and just saw them again today.\u201d
