新鮮思維與未來思維:IMEX America 探索的創造力和趨勢

A shot of creativity goes a long way to remaining competitive and addressing future trends. This is the view of Susan Robertson whose mission is to ‘sharpen strategic creativity to produce real results.’

在她在 IMEX America 的 Play Room 會議上,“你解決了錯誤的問題嗎?” 她向與會者展示瞭如何從新的角度應對挑戰,以提出新的想法和創新。 在哈佛大學教授創造性思維課程的蘇珊解釋說,“愛因斯坦說'如果我有一個小時來解決一個問題,我會花 55 分鍾思考問題,XNUMX 分鍾思考解決方案。'”

Susan’s was one of many innovative sessions in the Play Room, the creative hotbed of the show, enabling planners to get hands on with tools, techniques and resources to develop new ideas and make meetings more interactive. It includes a dedicated innovation corner for out of the box thinking and an engagement corner for tricks on how to create a deeper and richer audience experience. There’s even the chance to set a Guinness World Record by tackling the “Beer Coaster challenge!”


Creativity and future thinking go hand in hand, as fresh thinking ensures planners can address forthcoming trends and incorporate them into their business. The German Convention Bureau gave an insight into the future of meetings in Research and innovation: See the future of meetings today. Attendees discovered trends in knowledge sharing, tech and meeting design from the Future Meeting Space – a project by the German Convention Bureau (GCB), European Association of Event Centres (EVVC) and The Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO. The GCB team, including Claudia the avatar, ran through future meeting scenarios and examples of how these have already been put into practice in Nuremburg, Leipzig and Munich.

從未來的會議場景到未來的會議參與者。 SPIN:Senior Planners Industry Network 的創始人 Shawna Suckow 發表了一個關於供應商的會議:如何更好地與當今的規劃者建立聯繫。 Shawna 解釋瞭如何“打破混亂”並通過客戶推薦和麵對面的網絡以及社交媒體溝通的最佳實踐技巧建立關係。

溝通和培養關係構成了 MPI 主題演講者 Tami Evans 的核心。 她鼓勵與會者擁抱他們的“內心傻瓜”,將其作為一種真正與人聯繫並提高參與度和生產力的方式。 自稱“永遠的樂觀主義者”的塔米在她充滿活力的主題演講中建議代表們“暫停完美”,以支持個性和激情。 她的玻璃半滿方法鼓勵規劃者在他們的職業和個人生活中更快樂、更健康。

出席主題演講的 The Ordinary Success Project 的 Joanne Dennison 解釋說:



“塔米震撼了它! 她向人們展示瞭如何將她的積極信息傳遞到展廳的工作中。 她無疑是一位充滿活力的演講者——非常適合我們在 IMEX 的最後一天。”
