Virtual Meeting
As the events industry navigates a rapidly shifting global landscape, planners are facing new complexities when delivering international meetings. From changing attendee behaviors to cross-border contracting delays, slowed decision-making, and regional economic pressures, the rules of engagement are evolving fast.
Breaking Borders: How Global Shifts Are Reshaping Events is a collaborative virtual session hosted by the UK & Ireland and Rocky Mountain chapters of Meeting Professionals International.
This highly interactive session brings together voices from both sides of the Atlantic — including corporate planners, association strategists, procurement leaders, and supplier partners to share first-hand insights on the challenges and opportunities shaping global event planning today.
The session will open with a data-driven market snapshot from industry thought leaders followed by a dynamic panel discussion. Panelists will explore topics such as:
- Planning nuances and cultural differences between the U.S. and Europe
- Cross-border contracting, budgeting, and supplier collaboration
- Attendance declines, shifting buyer expectations, and slower conversion timelines
- How to future-proof international meetings in 2026 and beyond
- Following the main panel discussion, you’ll join small breakout conversations to exchange ideas, share solutions, and connect directly with peers around topics that matter most to you.
