This is the third virtual IAPCO EDGE, following successful seminars for Europe and Latin America earlier this year. The challenges of hybrid conference management as well as staff retainment are among the program line-up.
Martin Boyle, Iapco chief executive, said: “The past two years have been incredibly difficult for people across the entire events industry around the world and as a result, we have had to adapt dramatically. We know there are still event cancellations or postponements happening across the entire region, but we are seeing green shoots of recovery starting to show.
“IAPCO EDGE Apac aims to directly address concepts like ‘Covid fatigue’, recovery strategies and team motivation by inspiring attendees with new and innovative ideas to plan events – and importantly, to plan them with certainty – while also offering direct support from key industry leaders and other colleagues.”
