EIC is replacing the CMP Conclave with a more expansive educational event.

The virtual Democratic and Republican national conventions taking place this month highlight how essential in-person meetings are to the U.S. economy.

The schedules for IBTM Americas and Cvent Connect overlap at the end of this month, but the beauty of virtual events is that you can spend time at both.

The Democrats’ August 17-20 event will stream across 15(!) online platforms, use daily content themes, and feature a variety of speakers and presenters—many of whom aren’t pros.

Free for members, the three-day event hosted more than 12,800 attendees, pleasing sponsors and exhibitors while providing its planners with lessons to apply to their next online conference.

The former Maritz executive is now leading Digitell and has plenty to say about the changing world of online meetings.

Good technology and smart marketing are only the basics for online meetings. The harder part is getting attendees to pay attention.

With venue sourcing and live meeting management on hold, Cvent follows planners to where the action is.

If you’re at the starting line for online event planning or just want to make sure you’ve checked all the boxes, a new association-focused white paper from Kenes can help.

Consider these lessons on virtual diplomacy, whether you’re hammering out new F&B protocols or an increase in meeting space to maintain social distance.
