This week I met two people at an event whom I recognised from my Instagram Explore page. This is the next level of event networking.

‘Davos is an attitude. Be bold, own it and seize the opportunity.’ Every event should have an AMA session as it connects you with fellow attendees and gives you tips for networking at the event and navigating the programme ‘Embrace JOMO as you can’t be everywhere’

The ‘How To’ guide for Davos is happening this Friday.

They know it. First timer badge.

On my way to Cologne to attend my first @UFILive event.

Coming week is a major FOMO week for the events industry. Which event are you attending?

If you work in events, attending UPW by Tony Robbins feels like a masterclass in event planning.

Following the unforgettable UPW experience in Birmingham last year I’m here for round two with @TonyRobbins in Cologne! The first day with 13,000 people was 🔥. The energy is through the roof and the content is truly inspiring #UPW24 #UPWEurope.

Frankfurt, you sure know how to impress.

Gerald Babel-Sutter, founder and CEO of Urban Future, opened the conference in Rotterdam on Wednesday #UF24 #UrbanFuture @UrbFutureConf

Urban Future in Rotterdam @UrbanFutureConf ‘Doing the first step is tough. The harder the project, the more we tend to push things away. This is particularly the case for cities, because the projects in cities are super challenging. & a lot of people don't want that change.’

The current trend at conferences is to keep sessions short at 30 minutes. But at Urban Future sessions are 90 minutes long and they are not looking at having TED style sessions. Instead, it's a lot about interaction and engagement and also co-creation, exchange of experience.

but one of the days travelling between the two. The travel becomes part of the day experience too. It's not just something that gets you from A to B, it's part of the experience.' 2/2

Multi-destination events are BIG TREND for 2024. Talking about multi destination events @IMEX_Group as a reward, @Padraicino shared: You can have the experience of a bustling city, then a countryside experience all within the same number of days 1/2

‘What we try to do with the sessions is that they are conversation starters. When you do a session then you get people into the room that are interested in it.’ Interview with Gerald Babel-Sutter, co-found @UrbanFutureConf about the upcoming Urban Future event in Rotterdam.

And that takes time. In most of the cases, people tell them the 90 minutes are too short actually for a particular topic because people are so passionate about the session topic.
