Revive & Innovate: Vision for the Future

Revive & Innovate: Vision for the Future blog series, written by Soundings Founder & CEO Tracy Judge, MS, CMP.

 

This fall, I had the opportunity to participate in multiple industry events including PCMA Convening EMEA in Vienna, Cvent CONNECT Europe in London, and IMEX America in Las Vegas. Each of these experiences was different, but they all had common threads and trends. 

My three-week journey felt like a crash course for the new world of meetings and events, learning about global event trends and getting a peek at what the future may hold. Now that I have had the time to synthesize all I learned and experienced, I am sharing the top themes, insights, and observations I found most valuable as we focus on 2023 and beyond.  

Attending industry events and collaborating with industry colleagues is how I gain vision for the future. I hope my insights help you do the same! 


5 Key Themes


In the weeks to come, I will share the five key themes I identified from my travels and how they influence the way I am approaching innovation: 

  1. DEI & Sustainability go hand-in-hand

  2. Partnerships are critical for growth

  3. There is a global shortage of talent

  4. The future is physical and digital

  5. Event professionals are community builders

Each section will take a close look at what's going on in the industry, pose thought-provoking questions and provide resources to help you innovate.

I look forward to collaborating with you on these topics!
