Your packed education program will leave participants feeling overwhelmed unless you provide opportunities for them to synthesize their experience. Here’s how - a piece of advice from Beth Surmont, FASAE, CMP-Fellow, CAE: https://lnkd.in/e_YV7jQS #PCMAConvene #EventProfs

Kishore Mahbubani has spent his life and career navigating shifting geographical, political, and cultural borders. He was born in Singapore when the island was still a colony of the British crown. Lifted out of poverty by a scholarship to attend what’s now the National University of Singapore (NUS), Mahbubani joined Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs after earning a graduate degree in philosophy, and later was the founding dean of Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at NUS. Currently a Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute at NUS, where he coordinates its Asian Peace Programme, Mahbubani’s greatest influence outside of Singapore arguably has come through the 10 books and numerous newspaper and journal articles he has written exploring the shifting power dynamics between the East and the West. See his answers to three big questions posed by Barbara Bruns Palmer in the below article. #PCMAConvene #CL25 #EventProfs

The biggest and most stubborn challenge for event organizers continues to be rising costs, according to Global DMC Partners’ (GDP) most recent Q3 Meetings & Events Survey. GDP, a global network of independent destination management companies (DMCs) and specialized event service providers, surveyed 164 meeting and event professionals from late June to early August, the majority of whom are based in the U.S. and Canada, with 20 percent located in the U.K. and Europe. In addition to a varied pool of respondents — 37 percent were corporate/direct planners, two out of five were agency/third-party planners, and nearly one-quarter were association and independent meeting planners — the survey questions covered a good amount of ground, including budgets, cost management strategies, lead times, diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, adoption of AI tools, and sustainability practices.
