It’s that time of year where experts from around the industry whip out their crystal balls and predict what our 2016 will look like. Sli.Do has compiled a great list and we’d love to know what you think too.
“The future of conferences will be less about single-direction information sharing since we do not have to travel the country or the world to hear what some guy on a stage has to say. We can do that from anywhere, any time at any device. A platform like TED.com is the biggest proof of that.
Yet people line up and pay massive fees to attend a TED conference. Why? Because of the people, they meet in the ‘white space’! – Gerrit Heijkoop, Online host and Social Media Expert

“The future of events, conferences and trade shows is a bright one – although they will be pretty different from how we perceive events mostly today. Conferences are less and less about providing information. Know-how is a commodity these days. Events can deliver perspectives, networking, bouncing ideas around. They are here to make sense of the endless flow of information that we are exposed to. ”- Michael Heipel, Owner Michael Heipel Concept & Consulting

I started my first company in 2010 in the midst of the down economy. By sharing content on Twitter, Facebook, and my blog, I gained expertise in the event planning industry and have become a leader and influencer. Thankfully, I've been named Top 25 Most Influential Event Planners in 2013, 40 Under 40 Up-and-Coming Event Planners in 2011, the #Eventprofs Most Thought Provoking Blog and People’s Choice Award. This created a platform for me to build my business and strong brand even further. Working with clients on events like Earn $100K Summit and S.H.E. Summit Week, I help entrepreneurs integrate technology into their events to better engage their attendees. In addition to our client work, we also hosts our own events. As the founder of TechsyTalk and PlannerTech, I'm incredibly dedicated to educating fellow event professionals on how technology can enhance their events.
