The biggest change we’re experiencing in meeting and event planning is …
“Attendee expectations are changing, and time is the new currency. People value their time differently and want to be more in control of how they invest their time. They are looking for authentic and transformational experiences. It’s the perfect time to experiment with how we design events with intent to meet those evolving needs.”
