CONCURRENT SESSIONS

Dive deeper into the Convening EMEA programme with our concurrent sessions. Discover the latest Micro Labs, Level Workshops, Connection Starters, and Insight Series, each offering fresh perspectives, interactive learning, and opportunities to connect.

1) LEVEL WORKSHOPS

Level Workshops are hands-on, interactive sessions focused on professional development tailored to different career stages (Next gen, Manager, Director, C-suite). You can choose to participate in a workshop aligned with your current experience level or observe a workshop that is higher or lower than your experience.

Level Workshop: Director
What Are You Certain of That May No Longer Be True?

The pressure on Directors is relentless: deliver more, decide faster, and project confidence in uncertain environments. Drawing on Adam Grant’s Think Again, this hands-on Director Level Workshop creates space to challenge beliefs about your own leadership, test it honestly with peers, and leave with a new perspective to rethink or act on moving forward.

2) MICRO LABS

Micro Labs are interactive solutioning workshops designed to explore how emerging trends and shifts are transforming organisations and teams, challenging traditional mindsets and approaches to uncover practical solutions and new opportunities.

Micro Lab: Geopolitical Shifts: Navigating Risk, New Realities and Preparedness

In this Micro Lab explore how geopolitical developments create both direct and indirect impacts across societies, organisations, events, supply chains, workforce planning, mobility, insurance, and stakeholder relationships.
Challenge assumptions about organisational preparedness by unpacking contingency plans, risk frameworks, and decision-making capabilities required to respond effectively to evolving geopolitical realities.
And identify practical approaches to building resilience, leading change with empathy, and sustaining trust with teams, partners, and stakeholders during periods of disruption and uncertainty.

Micro Lab: From Signals to Strategy: Turning the PCMA Outlook Report Insights into Action

The PCMA Outlook Report goes beyond identifying trends to explore the forces, tensions, and expectations reshaping the business events industry.
Combining global research with industry intelligence, it provides a forward-looking perspective to help you understand what is changing, why it matters, and how to respond.

3) INSIGHT SERIES

Insight Series explore real-world case studies, challenges, and emerging priorities through multiple industry stakeholder perspectives. By diving into both successes and failures, you will gain practical insights into the impact of key decisions and how to work more strategically across the wider business events ecosystem.

4) CONNECTION STARTERS

Connection Starters are facilitated peer-to-peer conversations designed to create meaningful connections through shared experiences, common interests, and honest dialogue. Hosted in small groups, they create a trusted environment to exchange perspectives, expand your network, and learn from others navigating similar realities.
