Ok, today I've been busy putting together a post just for our EVM3 students looking for industry examples of innovation in events. Here goes....
Skift
Great for everything innovation, I would suggest signing up for the newsletters on this topic in Skift - scroll down the page for past issues and don't miss the links given in the short summaries, they lead to informative articles.
Stand Out Magazine
Latest free issues are available online; check out April 2018, page 21...
BizBash
American events planning website featuring news and trends in the industry. Try their 2018 Design Issue.
MeetingsNet
With a focus on meetings, this website gives tips on how to make meetings; a case study can be found here.
Special Events
Latest events stories can be found along with blogs, papers and reports.
Here are some other examples of innovation in events that might help; Bright Bull also has some good industry examples on this topic. 5 Event Tech Trends in Action looks useful (downloadable with free registration).
Hope these help; if you have any further queries, do contact me.
