Spotlight Session: Venues of the Future, Challenges, and Opportunities Ahead

Breakout

2024-11-22 | 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM (GMT+01:00) Berlin| Room P, level 2

In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, venues must navigate a range of challenges, including digital disruption, inflation, economic uncertainty, climate change, and evolving customer needs.

This interactive session brings together experts from around the world to debate these issues and share best practices and potential solutions. Unlike a traditional speaker-led format, this session encourages every participant to actively contribute, making it a unique opportunity to gather a wealth of experiences and insights.
Experts will gather in small groups and deep dive in one of those key topics such as:

  • Sustainability and the road to net zero carbon by 2050: How is our industry responding to the global movement towards a green economy and how is it performing in relation to achieving net zero carbon by 2050?
  • Event profile protection: What are the clients (event organizers) demands and what are best practices globally when it comes to profile protection while safeguarding the interest of both the venue and organizers?
  • Cost and Pricing in light of current economic climate: Should venues raise their prices significantly just to stay afloat? Is there a way to face inflation?
  • Acquisition of new customers / events: In a highly competitive environment, what competitive advantages venues can work on in order to appeal to new clients while retaining their existing customers.
The outcome of each working group will then be shared with all attendees of this session. The session is co-moderated by industry professionals.
