5 October 2022 | Business Events in the Context of Evolving Consumer Demands

Moderated by CEIR CEO Cathy Breden, CMP-F, CAE, CMP

Co-presenters:

  • Clifford Young, Ph.D., US President of Public Affairs, IPSOS
  • Nancy Drapeau, IPC, VP of Research, CEIR

Webinar Description:

At the recent CEIR Predict Conference, tech ethnographer and speaker Tricia Wang, Ph.D. notes the pandemic triggered a spatial collapse. Pre-COVID, people had separate lines between activities happening at home, at work and in public spaces for entertainment and other activities. During COVID, most activities happened at home, digitally. Today, return to out-of-home activities is happening.

So many questions!

  • What does this mean for in-person business events?
  • What will be compelling enough to prompt people to leave the comfort of their homes to attend an in-person event?
  • What experiences will resonate and convert them to repeat attendees? How can organizers seize the opportunity that digital events might offer?
  • How might in-person and digital events complement each other?

Join this session for a deep dive discussion and insights from a poll IPSOS, a leading consumer and brand firm, conducted on behalf of CEIR and research conducted by CEIR that will help you focus your event planning efforts for maximum success. Come to listen, but also be ready to engage and be prepared to react to what you hear with ideas and examples on how to best resonate with today’s business event consumer!

Consumer research to be discussed was fielded by IPSOS in early September, repeating a poll last done by Harris Interactive for CEIR Predict 2020. Further insights from IPSOS omnibus consumer polls will also be shared, as well as the latest update on the outlook for the US trade show industry per the CEIR Index forecast update.
