PlanetIMEX launched with an invitation to everyone in the global meetings, events and incentive travel industry to register free of charge for EduMonday Live on 11 May.
The first two islands on PlanetIMEX - Education Island and Community Island are also announced. These rich, engaging 3-D online experiences will be complemented by a third, Networking Island, due to launch 14 May with a focus on networking and business introductions.
EduMonday Live on Monday 11 May has been designed to give the business events industry the chance to engage, totally free of charge, in a range of carefully curated education sessions led by 40 expert speakers.
The education platform on PlanetIMEX has been generously supported by partners Cvent and Streamlined Communications. Each education session is also complemented by the CrowdCompass mobile event app to give attendees a more personal experience and the chance to interact with the speaker and other attendees.
In the usual spirit of IMEX, EduMonday Live is provided free of charge, as is access to the whole of PlanetIMEX. For those who can’t attend, IMEX will make all recordings available in an online library later in the month. The day will wrap up with a choice of four light-hearted ‘Social Soirees’ at 4.30pm.
EduMonday Live kicks off at 10am UK time. The programme starts with a welcome by IMEX Group Chairman, Ray Bloom and CEO, Carina Bauer followed by a 10.30am keynote from Guy Bigwood, Managing Director of the Global Destination Sustainability Index, titled ‘The big pivot - Towards a regenerative events industry’.
