Costs keep rising\, participation is unpredictable\, and the metrics we’ve been using are no longer telling the full story. What’s more\, event leaders are being asked to deliver more with the outdated models that stopped serving us years ago.    \nThe good news is\, we know what needs to change.   \nIn this live discussion\, three experienced event leaders share how they are rethinking their approach in real time. Grounded in the most common questions we’re hearing from the events community\, this conversation focuses on three critical shifts: what stays and what goes in your event portfolio\, how to redefine success in a way that reflects today’s reality\, and how to guide stakeholders toward smarter\, more confident decisions.  \nYou’ll hear how small changes can unlock major results\, how data can reshape the conversation\, and how to guide committees through moments of uncertainty without losing momentum. This is a practical\, honest look at what it takes to create events in today’s world.  \nIn this session\, you’ll learn how to: \n\nUnderstand a practical approach to get started with evaluating your event portfolio. \nGather insights on relevant metrics to measure event impact. \nGain tools on how to lead more effective decision-making conversations that help your stakeholders move forward. \n\nCan’t attend live? Register now to receive the recording. \n\n\nRSVP Now URL:https://www.pcma.org/event/the-questions-keeping-event-leaders-up-at-night-answered/ CATEGORIES:PCMA Institute,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.pcma.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Webinar-May-2026-The-Questions-Keeping-Event-Leaders-Up-at-Night-Answered-2-WPSqRg.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260528T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260528T173000 DTSTAMP:20260619T074128 CREATED:20260520T114518Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260528T121511Z UID:253726-1779989400-1779989400@www.pcma.org SUMMARY:Tall Ship NextGen Meet-Up DESCRIPTION:Calling all NextGen Event Professionals (under 30)! \nJoin PCMA New England for a laid-back evening on the waterfront at The Tall Ship in East Boston.
