The Hague Convention Bureau’s latest live streamed panel discussion gathers some high-profile meeting industry leaders, 7 May, to address the topic: ‘How are sales activities in the meetings industry evolving in a time where there is little demand?’
The webinar (1600-1700 CET) will be moderated by Eric Bakermans, Director of Marketing Meetings, Conventions & Events, The Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions, and the panellists are:
- Christian Mutschlechner, Independent Meeting Industry Specialist
- Carina Bauer, CEO IMEX Group
- Seth DeHart, B2B SaaS Sales Strategist
- Oscar Cerezales, Global Executive President Corporate Division, MCI Group
The topic was chosen from feedback following The Hague Convention Bureau’s first panel debate, which was attended by more than 230 live streamers on 9 April. That session, which featured experts from around the world, explored the general impact of Covid-19 on the meetings industry.
Bas Schot, Head of The Hague Convention Bureau, said: “The Hague has a global reputation as a centre of learning with a significant knowledge economy. We have recently been running the face to face HagueTalks events together with partners, focused on hard hitting topics and content, with leading subject matter experts. The initiative was a huge success and we wanted to find a way to maintain the debates and extend it across digital platforms throughout the Covid-19 crisis. We have achieved this via a series of webinars in which we are addressing the pressing matters that have arisen due to the disruption, whilst sharing best practices from industry experts, and providing concrete advice.
“Our first webinar was extremely well attended, whilst being supported by some great speakers. We expect the same from this one.”
