Driving momentum and productivity: #EuroBLECH2024 opens in #Hanover From 22 to 25 October, the international sheet metal working industry will meet in Hanover for the 27th edition of #EuroBLECH – the world’s largest showcase for live machinery and technical breakthroughs in this sector. Themed ‘The Power of Productivity’, this year’s event features nearly 1,300 exhibitors from 40 nations on 160,000sqm gross space across nine halls. An engaging event programme of expert talks, guided tours, themed trails and innovation awards offers extra opportunities for knowledge-building and networking. Next week, EuroBLECH 2024 will once again turn Hanover Exhibition Grounds in Germany into the global innovation hub for the sheet metal working community. The four-day event will feature thousands of exhibits in 15 technology sectors and is expected to attract an even greater number of visitors from international markets. EuroBLECH’s growing global reach is mirrored in the exhibitor bookings, with 66% of suppliers coming from outside Germany. Leading exhibitor countries include Germany, Italy, Turkey, China, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Poland, France, and the USA. Significant stand space growth has been recorded by companies from Sweden, Austria, Portugal, and major Asian economies, with India's exhibition space more than doubling since the 2022 edition.

✨ 𝐖𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐩 2024 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝✨ As the year winds down, we hope everyone found moments to slow down and truly enjoy the season, even amidst the holiday hustle. At Elite Rides Chicago, we’re reflecting on a year of growth, learning, and exciting pivots that have set the stage for an incredible 2025. This past year, industry trends guided us away from traditional sedans as we noticed a significant increase in group and event travel. In response, we’ve expanded our fleet beyond luxury full-size SUVs to include a variety of executive Sprinters equipped with state-of-the-art technology—think UHD 4K TVs, reclining seats, and versatile bench seating. While we continue to provide seamless airport transfers, these vehicles have been game-changers for corporate team-building events, sports tailgating, golf outings, concerts, and so much more. Our year-one marketing strategy taught us the importance of adaptability. By keeping an open outlook, we discovered new niches and opportunities we hadn’t initially planned for. These lessons have fueled our growth and set a clear path forward. Looking ahead to 2025, we’re thrilled about the potential for growth into major metropolitan markets, with Q2 marking the beginning of exciting expansions. Keep an eye on our updates—we’ll be sharing more about these new markets soon. As you make plans for the New Year, remember to prioritize safety and reliability. Don’t leave your transportation to chance with unreliable ride shares. Whether it’s a corporate event, a concert, or a night out, let Elite Rides Chicago get you there with comfort and confidence. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of our journey this year—your conversations, feedback, and support have been invaluable. Here’s to a successful and fulfilling 2025 for us all. Happy New Year from the Elite Rides Chicago team! #EliteRidesChicago #LuxuryTransportation #CorporateTravel #EventTransportation #ChicagoEvents #NewYear2025 #SafeTravel #GroupTravel #ExecutiveTransportation #ChauffeurService

At nearly every event, there are last minute changes. At innoVia, we’re experts at navigating them. We know how to expect the unexpected and turn a challenge into a seamless experience. 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲? 𝗡𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺. When the entire City of Copenhagen lost power during a major event, we kept the energy alive—literally. With emergency lighting in the General Session and a naturally lit reception, the event continued without missing a beat. 𝗦𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗲? 𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱. When a key participant fell ill after arriving at the venue, we set up a video conference feed to their hotel room. They didn’t miss a moment, and neither did the event. 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁? 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗩𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹. When a presenter’s flight was canceled, we swiftly pivoted to bring them in virtually, ensuring the hybrid meeting proceeded as planned. 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁-𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲? 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗢𝗻 𝗜𝘁. Just last week, a client updated their branding right before an event. Everything from custom scenic elements to printed materials were adjusted to align with their new look. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽: Always have a Plan B, extra equipment ready, and team members you can rely on for help in a pinch. We’re ready for whatever comes our way because for us, the show must always go on! #SummerSeries #EventPlanning #EventManagement #innoVia #TipsAndTricks #CorporateEvents #LastMinute #EventProfs

We are delighted that we had the pleasure of participating in the 10th HanseCom Anniversary Forum 2024 in Hamburg. The motto of the event was “JUMP! Into Next-Gen Mobility”.🚆 HanseCom itself is an important and reliable partner for us in the implementation of customer projects for mobility service providers (e.g. Hamburger Hochbahn, VAG Nuremberg, Bahnen der Stadt Monheim, DB Regio). Shared mobility refers to the shared use of transportation. So how can shared mobility become even more attractive for people. What do transport companies and associations, private mobility providers, cities and municipalities, the federal government and we as a society need to do to achieve this? How can we make the “leap” to the next level of mobility? The following topics were discussed during the forum with decision-makers from public transport, business and politics:   - Mobility budgets and company mobility management  - Account-based ticketing: In use internationally - but not (yet) in DACH   - Mobility worldwide: What we can learn from other countries  - MaaS: Successful concepts for the introduction of mobility platforms  - Customer loyalty: From transport company to preferred mobility provider in your own region  - Digitalization in sales: Win-win for customers and transport companies  We look back on eventful conference days in Hamburg and look forward to helping shape the future of mobility. ✅ #SharedMobility #Forum #TransportTransition  

Wondering how to get to the Industrial Future Summit? We’ve got you covered! This year’s event will take place at the stunning Artipelag, just 30 minutes from central Stockholm.

Walk in memory lane for Future of SW conferences part 3/6 - event in 2017 at Korjaamo Helsinki. One of the most memorable keynotes we've ever had was that year. I wanted to bring someone who would bring something new to the product development field, and we found Mark Gallagher, a Formula One executive with great views, especially on marketing. This has been the keynote speaker people bring up in discussions even after years and years. We did have a great speaker lineup, including Kevin S., Pekka Kosonen, Mika Levo, Tommi Raivisto, Antti Lehtimäki, and Harri Juntunen. Pekka's story about Radical Agility at Zalando is one I remember still after years. Also, we experimented with a workshop track, where we ran different types of workshops throughout the day. People participated well in the workshops. The venue, Korjaamo, inside the old tram museum, was a pleasant experience. They made the place look beautiful. Still, my favorite thing from 2017 was when we brought the guys from Blokess to the stage (Martin Kalliola, Jussi Pulkkinen and Matti Roth). They were the early change-makers in social media, and they have a great thing going on with their YouTube and Instagram channels. It was so surprising how most companies didn't have a clue about using videos in marketing in those days. It was a perfect example of bringing something from the Future of SW to the stage early on. We are organizing Future of SW again this year, 19 Novemberon November 19th, in Helsinki. It will be a great event again. I urge you to join or, if you are interested, come to sponsor the event. Most importantly, see you there! The event info: https://lnkd.in/dCj9DHNp I'll link some videos from 2017 in the comment section. Check those out! #futureofsw #eficode #futureofsoftware

TFI Lodestar is 40 this year! 🎉   We’re gearing up for a big anniversary later this year, and we’ve been looking back on the decades that have passed since our foundation and reflecting on how much things have changed.   The 1980s was a period of massive growth in our industry, as we evolved from ‘industrial theatre’ and ‘commercial art’ into something more resembling the way we see ourselves today.   It was a decade of extremes. We remember the world of grim nicotine-stained meeting rooms with sticky carpets and views of the motorway, with flip-charts and whiteboards (still new and glamorous in the 1980s!) and – if the budget allowed – a rented overheard projector. At the other end of the scale, there were some truly decadent things going on that had nothing to do with business objectives or caring about sustainability (we know a story about chartering Concorde to fly delegates to a venue in the Caribbean, where the CEO rode out onto the conference stage on a white horse, but our heads are still spinning from that one…)   Technology was basic, sometimes raw. We still achieved many genuinely beautiful things in AV, but the terror of handling a carefully packed 35mm slide carousel before a show, or spending hours getting the timings just right between sequences of slide projectors, continues to linger in our nightmares. One slip or error – of a kind that can be fixed in seconds today in PowerPoint – often took hours of studios, dark rooms and motorbike couriers.   What are your memories of the 1980s? And while you’re chewing on that…Anybody remember these objects? If you were born after the 1980s, do you even know what they are? #TFILodestar #AnniversaryCelebration #EventIndustry #40YearsStrong #EventPlanning #1980s #CorporateEvents #EventManagement #EventPlanning #EventStrategy #BusinessEvents #EventProduction
