Make time for brain breaks, Paulette Wolf Events advises. "Events are full of content and activity, and attendees want to maximize their investment of time and money. But, packing several sessions to attend, booths to visit, notes to take, and people to meet into two or three days can be quite demanding for conference attendees. Adding areas or just time where attendees can unplug from the event and allow them to process what is happening and reconnect allows them to come back energized and engaged. We recommend fitness classes, meditation and fun activities in between sessions to help unwind and give the brain a break." Here, an event for Mercer.

"We are taking the idea of experiential stories deeper to create even more immersive live experiences that resound with audiences and produce immediate results, whether in ROI, media exposure or other metrics," RHEG management says. "With the live action of social media, the opportunities are boundless. The drawback to this is that negative response can also spread like wildfire. Strategic, well thought-out approaches that follow through on brand promises and audience expectations are a must."

In a good development, the growth of digital teams in corporations means new audience for events, beyond the customary sales and marketing meetings, Vibe says. But the rise of online platforms for venue and vendor sourcing is concerning, management says, as the platforms cut out the planner.
