Inspired by the event theme, “The Odyssey Reinvented: A very human journey toward the meetings of tomorrow,” this special issue explores how technology is transforming the way people meet and connect, while reaffirming the human wisdom, judgement and emotions that remain essential to flexibility, resilience and adaptation.
Drawing on the enduring qualities of Odysseus — resourcefulness and cleverness, patience and perseverance, leadership and decision-making — this edition reflects on how these timeless traits continue to shape the meetings of tomorrow.
The issue also brings together highlights and insights from AM&GA Athens 2026, alongside contributions from across the IAPCO community, all with the shared aim of supporting excellence across the global meetings industry.
