Leading associations and PCOs working in partnership with ESAE to deliver high level

contentPublished on : Thursday, May 7, 2015

Speakers from The International Association for Professional

Innovation Management, The Royal Society of Medicine and TFI

Group will join leaders from The European Society of Association

Executives (ESAE) to deliver content at the 2015 Association

Meetings Conference on Monday 6th July at the QEII Centre,

London.

The events theme Shaping Your Meetings for the Future

Educate, Connect and Inspire is suitable for both domestic and

international in-house planners and agency personnel working

with associations.

Topics include:

How to innovate on a budget: What can associations do to transform and update their events at low cost?

Meeting Planning as an evolving profession: Looking to the future of the PCO and the Association roles.

Crystal Balls & Toolkits Technology, Sponsorships and Destinations

Meeting Planning as an Evolving Function

Hybrid Membership Models & Powerful Agendas for Younger Generations

The event content, which has been created by Linda Pereira, Conference Chair and Executive Director, CPL

Events in partnership with the ESAE has been crafted to address the specific needs of UK and international

association meeting and event planners, PCOs and AMCs.

Once again Linda has created an engaging, challenging and thought provoking programme that will be of

significant benefit to all in attendance. Our partnership with the ESAE will be of particular interest to attendees

as it demonstrates the credibility of the Association Meetings Conference amongst association leaders from

across the continent. Comments Steve Knight, The Meetings Shows Event Director. Like The Meetings Show

itself, our conference sits at the heart of the global meetings industry meaning that it also provides a unique

opportunity for domestic association professionals to network and engage with their international counterparts.

Chris Raudonat, ESAE Director and Independent Management Consultant will be presenting a workshop titled

Hybrid Membership Models & Powerful agendas for younger generations. He comments: In a world of free

online communities and multiple careers, prospective younger members are getting more selective about how

they interact with associations, face-to-face and during events. They expect to be able to determine the value

that joining both as a member and a delegate will provide. While many associations are still keeping

traditional fee-based models, others are switching to freemium or hybrid approaches to attract new and

different members and integrate these in their meetings strategies. This workshop will address changes in

memberships and how these influence and inspire new models of holding events.

Home News Shows Manchester to draw on citys intellectual capital at The Meetings Show

Category: Show Created on Thursday, 14 May 2015 16:15

Marketing Manchester will take a new message to The Meeting Show in July, using the event as a platform to talk up

the citys intellectual credentials.

Carrying the new strapline that Great minds meet in Manchester; the team will draw attention to the citys rich history

as a place of ideas and innovation, particularly within scientific fields.

The message aims to build on Manchesters current tenure as European City of Science ahead of next years EuroScience

Open Forum (ESOF) which will see 4,500 delegates visit Manchester for Europes largest general scientific conference.

It is also a subtle reference to Greater Manchesters ability to nurture great achievers such as the University of Manchesters 25 Nobel laureates and household names

including John Dalton, Alan Turing and Emmeline Pankhurst who all have strong connections to the city.

Manchester Central, Bolton Whites and Emirates Old Trafford have been confirmed as stand partners alongside Marketing Manchester at The Meeting Show and the

contingent will be working together to secure new conference business for the region.

Nick Brooks-Sykes, director of tourism at Marketing Manchester, said: Whilst Greater Manchester enjoys its moment in the spotlight as a cultural destination with the newly

opened Whitworth, HOME and Manchester International Festival making headlines we want to remind conference organisers why Manchester is the obvious choice for

intelligent, knowledge rich meetings.

Historically Manchester is the city where Marx met Engels, where Rolls met Royce and where, more recently, Sir Andre Geim and Sir Konstantin Novoselov united to

discover graphene. It is home to a unique infrastructure and set of networks that relish in bringing people together to discuss and collaborate and thats the message we want

to get across at The Meeting Show this year.

Alongside ESOF, 2016 will see Manchester host number of high-profile global scientific conferences including the 17th Quadrennial International Conference on Clouds &

Precipitation, the 24th Biennial Congress of the European Association for Cancer Research and the XXIV International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry.

The Manchester contingent will be on stand D16 at The Meetings Show.
