Hard Data on What’s Happening With Room Bookings

It is widely understood that a percentage of attendees at conventions don’t reserve hotel rooms within the room block.

Theme Building: Not What You’re Thinking

Creating a meaningful theme, one that binds the elements of an event together consistently, is often substituted with a tagline that has little to do with the purpose, objectives and structure of the event.

Then we'll shift gears to discuss the homelessness issue that often affects where we plan our events and the experiences our participants have while attending events. Learn what solutions event organizers at a hackathon in Glasgow developed, and how we can begin helping cities solve for the homelessness epidemic.
