The Meetings
Show, the UK’s leading event that
brings together the world’s meetings and events community, is seeking
submissions for its 2024 content programme.
Industry
experts and thought leaders, who can passionately share insight and talk
engagingly about current trends, are invited to put forward proposals for this
year’s sessions.
Submissions
are also welcomed from professionals outside the MICE sector whose expertise
can inspire event professionals and add value to their working lives.
Returning
to ExCeL London on 19 and 20 June 2024, the knowledge programme will be split
across four key themes – Inform, Inspire, Innovate and Impact.
Each
session will ensure visitors leave the show feeling enriched with knowledge
they didn’t know they needed, empowered to think, connect, plan and live
differently alongside innovation to do and be better and connections with
relevant industry colleagues.
Curated
in partnership with The Attendee Experience Company (atex), this year’s
programme will include 28 sessions over the two days and submissions are
welcome for either the allotted 30- or 45-minute sessions.
Jack Marczewski, portfolio event director,
Northstar Meetings Group, said: “The Meetings Show’s content sessions
consistently receive positive feedback and are always extremely popular as they
provide value and learning to all who attend.
“To
maintain the quality and integrity of our programme, once again we’ll be
particularly looking for fresh and custom sessions that haven’t been delivered
anywhere else before. In addition to the content, we’ll also be prioritising
those sessions that demonstrate innovation in their delivery and outcome.
“So,
if you’re an event industry expert with an exciting content idea or a
successful case study to showcase in a unique way, we’d love to hear from
you!”
Those
looking to participate in this year’s programme should provide a proposed title
and, in a brief, clear and concise paragraph, offer a brief synopsis of what
delegates will discover. Consideration should also be given to the format and
presentation and whether the power of storytelling, discussion and input might
be more impactful for attendees.
To
submit a proposal, please complete the online application form by 17:30 on 1
March 2024.
