The integration of physical events and lasting online communities represents an intersection of technology and human connection. It's an incredible opportunity for event organizers to innovate and revolutionize the way we experience events. However, it appears there's a certain hesitancy, a reluctance to take the leap into the unknown. The default has become a 'wait-and-see' approach, somewhat antithetical to the spirit of innovation. In facing the unknown and the discomfort that comes with change, I am reminded of "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Spencer Johnson, a book that encapsulates the essence of adaptability and embracing new opportunities. I'm curious to know your thoughts. Have you noticed this shift in the events industry? How can organizers break from the status quo and craft a new, innovative business model that truly capitalizes on the immense potential at the intersection of technology, human connection, and events? Let's start a conversation. #EventInnovation #HybridEvents #CommunityBuilding #FutureOfEvents #Adaptability #EmbraceChange #TechMeetsEvents

Tech Meets Tradition: Embracing Innovation in Events – Your 2024 Guide As we step into the new year, let's dive into the hottest trends shaping the landscape of events and conferences in 2024. 1️⃣ Hybrid experiences: The future is all about flexibility! Hybrid events continue to dominate, seamlessly blending in-person and virtual components. Attendees can engage from anywhere, breaking down geographical barriers. 2️⃣ Sustainability matters: Mother Earth is in vogue! Green initiatives are now becoming the norm, with eco-friendly practices and carbon-neutral events gaining traction. 3️⃣ Diversity & inclusion: Embrace the richness of perspectives! D&I initiatives are no longer optional; they're integral to fostering a vibrant and inclusive event culture. 4️⃣ Personalisation is key: Say goodbye to one-size-fits-all!

How to Master attending events? 🤔 The events circuit is buzzing with excitement, from the recent Money 20/20 in Bangkok to the upcoming #EchelonX in Singapore (https://lnkd.in/gUJwvT_u), and a plethora of other gatherings around the region. But here’s a question: how should you approach these events to make the most out of them? While the answer might seem straightforward, the reality is that many people could benefit from a more strategic approach. Here are some tips on how to elevate your event game and maximize your experience: ⏰ 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲, 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞 Arriving early gives you a chance to beat the crowds and strike up conversations with speakers or organizers. Similarly, staying late can often lead to more relaxed networking opportunities as the event winds down. ✍ 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 It’s surprising how many folks overlook this step. Take the time to delve into the event details beforehand. Familiarize yourself with the speakers, session schedules, and any special offerings. For example, for Echelon, beyond the usual stages, we have the Speak Zone and Roundtable sessions offering a more intimate experience. There are some close door sessions that require you to RSVP. Understanding the event's layout and agenda will help you navigate it more efficiently and make the most of your time. 🔊 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 Don’t be shy about broadcasting your attendance on LinkedIn. Share updates about the event and engage with other attendees. Posting live updates or photos can spark conversations and attract new connections. Remember, networking starts before you even step foot in the venue. ⛔ 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 Split your day into hyper focused time blocks. I like to do 30 mins blocks. Make sure each block has a specific agenda and goal. You want to avoid randomly bumping into old friends or aimlessly walking around the floor with no purpose. With clear time blocks, you don't even have to spend a full day at the event. This also allows you to remain productive for office work and not have to disappear all day for "meetings. 🤜 🤛 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐲, 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 I did this a lot in my younger days. Have a clear goal on what you hope to get out of the event. Share this with a friend. The 2 of you should make a pact to motivate each other to get those goals done. Whether it’s collecting business cards, making meaningful connections, or attending specific sessions, having a partner in crime can boost motivation and make the experience more rewarding. Bet on it if that helps. When I was in SF, my buddy and I would set a KPI for how many business cards we would get at the end of the event (we trusted each other that it was quality conversations). Loser paid for dinner. Now, armed with these strategies, go forth and conquer your next event like a pro! 🙌

How to maximise your time and energy >> optimise relationship building As event organiser + attendee, these are some tips for you to consider 1. Are you clear about whom you want to meet? ✅️ Know why you need to connect with someone ✅️ Do your research - know who is coming, can someone help to open a door for you 2. DON'T SELL This might seem counter intuitive. But people can sense when your first agenda is to just sell them something. Prioritise being genuinely curious and being open. Focus on building new relationships with the people you would like to meet. 3. Join the official and unofficial meetups that happens around the event At the end of the day, we have limited time and energy,so we want to use it well but also be open to spontaneous and serendipitous meetups too.
