Last week we attended the EVCOM Clarion Awards Ceremony (did we mention we picked up a few Gold awards?🏆🏆🏆😊). As much as we enjoyed being laden with trophies, winning was not the highlight of our evening. Our MD Liz Zutshi and Customer Relationship Manager loved the insightful and inspiring EDI panel discussion (you can watch it here https://lnkd.in/grQ34xz4) As a purpose-driven creative events agency we are committed to EDI both internally in our agency but also at our live events. Like many organisations we have a dedicated EDI team working to continue to develop our strategy and drive positive change. The challenge is to really push the needle on what EDI means in our agency but also in the industry at large. We always begin live event planning by assessing the attendee experience. In order to understand all attendee experiences we need a diverse and inclusive team. In the words of Ghandi, "If you want to change the world start with yourself". We know that we will all be better for sharing our EDI best practices and we would love to hear more about what our Industry friends are doing too. Inspired by this panel discussion we are focusing heavily in these areas over the coming 6 weeks: - Our clients are diverse, their customers are diverse and our organisations will be more successful with diverse teams. We know this to be true but how to we actively pursue this? A good place to start is to consider analysing the EDI data that you have collected. A simple way to start is to look at the data from recruitment, we lean on our recruitment partners to help us with this too. This all helps with evidence-based decision-making as we are basing on facts and data. - We all know story-telling is powerful so using real experiences to feed into an agency strategy can help shape hearts and minds. Like what was mentioned in the panel discussion we are developing internal networks and allies by sharing lived experiences. - As a values led organisation we really want to actively listen to ensure we represent all. Creating a 'safe space' where employees can challenge freely is the key to pushing the needle on EDI. We challenge ourselves to be more comfortable giving and receiving feedback. We invest in coaches like Zoe Tuffs from TIMES x10 Coaching to help develop a culture of feedback and active listening across the agency. We know we have further to go and we are always learning but we would love to hear more about what you do?

The May 2024 edition of Trade Show Executive (TSE) is live! In this edition of TSE, we feature Mike Carlucci, Chief Operating Officer at Clarion Events Inc. - North America, who has spent his career focused on building strong industry relationships and a positive company culture centered around customer obsession. In his more than 20-year career, Mike gained an intimate understanding of trade show production, and found a passion for collaborating across departments to enhance the customer experience. Mike shares how he approaches empowering his teams, the foundation of transparent partnerships and what he’s excited about for the future of the industry. We also preview the 2024 Exhibitions & Conferences Alliance (ECA) Legislative Action Day. Industry professionals will head to Capitol Hill on May 30 to advocate for ECA’s top federal policy priorities, including boosting the industry’s future workforce and further reducing visa-appointment wait times. Legislative Action Day is once again following Lippman Connects’ annual Exhibition and Convention Executives Forum, taking place May 29. Then, we dive into the data to find out what is expected of networking events, and how to create more meaningful, thoughtful and novel experiences for attendees. Industry leaders say that events relying on serendipity are missing the mark, and networking — the most important part of a trade show for many attendees — should not be left to chance. Next, we look at how F&B trends at events are evolving. TSE talks with several convention center F&B experts to find out what they’re seeing when it comes to eating at shows, such as sustainability, supplier diversity, healthier menus and new technology. Additionally, we learn how AMT - The Association For Manufacturing Technology is making sure that IMTS - International Manufacturing Technology Show exhibitors have the tools, information and resources they need to be successful. The IMTS team developed an exhibitor training program to teach companies how to best connect with customers, and has seen an 80% exhibitor retention rate.

Right from pre-event communications, through day-of support, provide excellent customer service to your event attendees. Be really responsive to their needs and ensure they have a positive experience. Every touch point matters. Remember, when you attend an event, it's easy to be unsure where to go, who to report to or just to feel a bit lost. Lots of opportunities to make certain that doesn't happen ..... think welcoming team, easy signage, check in points for anyone with questions, oh and of course a big smile. Word of mouth can hugely impact the success of your event, so treat every attendee as the valuable customer they are, or may become. This goes for your sponsors, speakers, hosts and suppliers too - make sure everyone knows where they need to be when and where to go to find help if they need it. If you're keen to learn customer service excellence best practice from a line up of experts, join us at St Helier Town Hall on 10th October for the JCX Conference. https://lnkd.in/eFB9r27y #ternevents #exceptionaljerseyevents #jerseyci #eventprof #customerserviceexcellence #JCXAlliance #JCXConference #CustomerExperience #CX #CustomerService #CXstrategy

Content & Audience Development | Integrated Product Solutions | Manufacturing Technology | Industrial and Economic Development
In digital product development, we often discuss the importance of #userresearch and #usertesting. At AMT - The Association For Manufacturing Technology, I learned about the art of product "co-development": engaging with the customers who want your products to succeed so they can grow with you. Check out this fantastic story on how IMTS - International Manufacturing Technology Show brings its products and community to life with regional workshops. When you invest in a trip and spend quality time with your most passionate customers, you learn much more than a user-testing session. You build trust and psychological safety, and they will truly tell you precisely what they need to get their jobs done. And what we do is important - when we elevate the manufacturing technology companies, we elevate the industry and our innovations that power economic growth. Massive shoutout to the fantastic IMTS Show Committee!

Loved organising the TenneT TSO B.V. Customer Day last week!😉 🎤 During the customer day, we welcomed around 120 connected TenneT grid customers and market parties to engage, connect, learn, and share insights with each other. My key takeaways? 🎯 Customer-Centric Content The highlight for customers was TenneT's strategy and vision for the 2045 target grid. Customers appreciated the message that the focus of the energy transition is on collaboration. 💬 Dynamic speakers & real life examples Diverse perspectives not only from TenneT side, but also other company's can be very valuable. ECW Energy not only gave us the opportunity to organise the customer day at the Agriport, Robert Kielstra also provided very valuable insights and a practical example for other customers attending. 🤝Engagement is Key Positive feedback on the networking opportunities and the less tightly planned programme shows how important it is to have enough time for interaction and networking. 📈 Event Campaign Analytics Using past analytics helped us to promote the most relevant topics during the event campaign. In this way, we were able to increase registration numbers and prioritise certain topics for the event. ✅ Continous Improvement Post-event surveys provided invaluable feedback for refining future events. Big thanks to everyone who helped us make the event a success, especially to my colleague Roerdink Natasja. Looking forward to more future TenneT events! ⚡
