Amanda Armstrong, senior VP of industry relations for AV/production giant Encore, leads a 55-minute session that highlights the useful trends and observations from Encore’s latest planner research on attendee preferences, and then delivers smart event-design ideas.
Conducted along with event consultancy Boldpush, the detailed survey saw 450 planners reveal the latest needs and challenges of their events.
In short: What attendees expect from connection, content, personalization and production has shifted in the past few years. So, Armstrong addresses how planners can adapt their meetings to account for these changing attendee preferences.

Just a few of the many topics Armstrong discusses are:
- How keynote presenters are perceived by today’s attendees, and how planners can get more interaction and other value from keynoters beyond simply speaking from the stage
- How AV and production can be used to activate attendees’ senses and reinforce a main-stage session’s key messages
- How to ensure pre-event preparation and communication happens among attendees so that they hit the ground running and have the most fulfilling experience
- How to leverage the fact that most attendees want more roundtable discussions and informal time for peer learning rather than sitting through presentations—even those conducted by fellow attendees
In short, this webinar presents a data-grounded view of what's working right now and what isn't, along with effective solutions.
What’s more, this webinar is worth 1 clock hour of credit toward the CMP designation through the Events Industry Council.
