Personalizing Event Experiences to Drive Engagement and Loyalty

By Projection

Imagine walking into your association’s annual meeting reception. The venue is alive with energy—conversations, laughter, and a high-energy band coaxing people onto the dance floor. Nearby, a family-friendly zone provides a space for children to play, while parents chat and unwind just a few feet away. If you’re seeking a quieter moment, cozy lounges are scattered throughout the venue, offering a perfect nook for networking and conversation. This reception truly creates an environment where every attendee feels comfortable. Read More

Creating Flexible Meetings in an Uncertain World: The Power of Contingency Planning

By Projection

In 2018, the U.S. government implemented travel restrictions that prevented federal scientists from attending scientific conferences, significantly impacting their participation in key events and collaboration opportunities. In 2019, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP25) was initially scheduled in Brazil, then moved to Chile, and ultimately relocated to Spain due to political unrest. That same year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) canceled a scientific conference due to a partial government shutdown. In 2020, the UK Student Climate Network was forced to cancel their conference due (ironically) to severe weather that made the roads impassable. And, in 2021, the Insurance Accounting and Systems Association (IASA) had to quickly transition to a fully virtual meeting as Hurricane Ida hit New Orleans.

Creating a More Sustainable Events Industry from the Inside Out

By Projection

Events are temporary––but their impact on the environment is not.

Because our industry thrives on travel and high resource use, environmental responsibility has been a challenge. Technology greatly enhances large-scale events, but can amplify sustainability issues, with energy-intensive setups and high-waste output. While many organizations are doing their part by achieving certifications and implementing offset programs, there is a huge opportunity to drive further change through sustainable practices within the AV sector. By rethinking internal processes, adopting greener technologies, and collaborating with partners, we have the power to drive meaningful, industry-wide change from the inside out. Read More

Navigating Workforce Dynamics: Key takeaways to tackle labor challenges

By Projection

Even as the world moves beyond the pandemic, we still feel its residual effects. Inflation continues to drive up the prices of food, beverages and fuel. Meeting attendees expect more options, like hybrid events with remote sessions or immersive experiences – both depending on added technology and labor. All the while, the workforce is still in flux––91% of hotels find hiring a challenge, and in the US, we are still missing almost 2 million workers from the economy. Read More
