Really enjoyed and heartened to read this, Digitally based activities (inc AI) and remote working have been a real positive in enhancing delivery and in a lot of cases, increasing engagement both business and in the delivery arena. However, this should never replace or undermine the importance and value of being present. There are situations, delivery, moments and times where being 'present' generates real impact in terms of trust, value generation, commitment and collaboration. There are many times (and my colleagues will attest to this as at times I say this) that the need to see the 'whites of their eyes' is key to taking the relationship, action or outcome to the next level. This is from showing a participant how important and valued they are; assuring a stakeholder/partner that you are genuine (and more importantly, they are vital); a community that you are committed and transparent or a commissioner that you are the real deal and can be trusted. Physical socialisation is a key part of the Human DNA and hierarchy of need. As with most things, Digital, AI and remote solutions are part of a toolkit that can be called upon where appropriate and beneficial, just as a physical face to face meeting has to be balanced against workload, purpose and time. #networks #collaboration #trust #letstalk #balance

Today, 11th April, is Global Meetings Industry Day (GMID), which emphasises the crucial role business events play in driving economic prosperity. Join Conference & Meetings World (CMW) in commemorating #GMID2024, an international platform advocating the invaluable contributions made by business meetings, incentive travel, exhibitions, conferences, and conventions to individuals, businesses, and communities alike.   Not to preach the obvious, but simply to once again highlight how important our industry is, the significance of meetings extends far beyond tangible economic benefits, encompassing intangible advantages such as fostering local economic growth, facilitating business expansion, and nurturing enduring relationships and respect among participants. #GMID, initially spearheaded by Meetings Mean Business, serves as a rallying call to unite the global business events industry, spotlighting the profound impact of face-to-face interactions on individuals, businesses, and communities.   The business events sector not only drives economic activity through measurable metrics but also serves as a catalyst for knowledge exchange, innovation, and investment. International business events, in particular, play a pivotal role in fortifying economies, fostering productivity, and cultivating diversity. In today's landscape, the significance and lasting impact of these events are more critical than ever.   Across the globe, business events are strategically leveraged to attract trade, investment, and top-tier talent, further bolstering their role as instrumental tools for economic growth and development. Through GMID and similar initiatives, the transformative power of business events is underscored, reinforcing their indispensable contribution to global economies. Happy Global Meetings Industry Day to you all! #events #eventprofs #businessevents #cmw #powerofevents

Today, U.S. Travel Association celebrates Global Meetings Industry Day—a worldwide day of advocacy to underscore the importance of being in-person and that #MeetingsMatter. In-person meetings, events and business travel bring countless benefits to people, businesses and communities, while simultaneously playing a pivotal role in our economy. GMID is an important opportunity to educate policymakers and business leaders on the value of in-person meetings and events: In the U.S., meetings and events contribute nearly $120 billion in travel spending and directly support 600,000 jobs. A return to pre-pandemic levels would result in a $32 billion boost to the U.S. economy. Every industry reaps the benefits of meeting in person, relying on business travel to accelerate growth, innovation and collaboration. Policymakers especially derive immense value from in-person interactions—travel enables them to engage with constituents, advance diplomacy and cultivate strong relationships throughout the United States and across the globe. To our thousands of industry colleagues celebrating #GMID2024 worldwide, thank you for helping amplify the power of this industry segment.
