According to the Events Industry Blog, biodegradable meeting spaces, artificial intelligence and serendipity will all play a significant role in the future of meetings and business events.
Those trends, along with others, were discussed by leaders from a wide range of industries for a recent study supported by the PCMA Foundation and Marriott International. The “Future of Meetings & Events” identified five trends with the potential in the next five years to dramatically disrupt the business events industry. The study was presented during 2019 PCMA Convening Leaders “Disrupt + Deliver” program taking place Jan. 6 -9 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
