PCMA CONVENE LIVE
5 Trends in 20 Minutes
Christopher Durso | Executive EditorPCMA Convene, The Magazine of the
Professional Convention Management Association
TREND #1
Sleep (or lack thereof)
“People tell us in surveys they’re exhausted, they can’t remember what they saw, they didn’t have enough time to breathe.”
TREND #2
Noise (i.e., too much of it)
“I’m always amazed at how bad sound is at auditory meetings. It ends up being random whether the terms are good or not.”
TREND #3
Drama (the good kind)
“A meeting should have a story, and be presented with a beginning, middle, and end — with complications and conflict that raise the stakes.”
TREND #4
3D printing (yes, that 3D printing)
“The technology allows the creation of items in a whole host of materials. The only limit is the imagination of the creator.”
TREND #5
Retention (I said, retention)
“What we’ve learned in the sessions doesn’t translate back to our real on-the-job work. Some things we remember, but a lot’s lost.”
