SUMMARY:CEIR Report: The Voice of Young Professionals - What They Value Most On The Show Floor & How To Deliver It
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Description: \nAs Gen Z and young Millennials become a growing presence on B2B trade show floors\, organizers and exhibitors face a critical question: Are today’s show floor experiences truly meeting their needs and expectations? To find out\, CEIR went straight to young professionals\, conducting in-depth interviews with a cross-section of 80 Gen Zers and young Millennials across trade shows held at venues along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard.

If you’re looking to better engage the next generation of attendees and ensure your event remains relevant and impactful\, this is a session you won’t want to miss. \nLearning Objectives:\n• Discover how to pinpoint the core elements of show floor engagement that matter most to Gen Z and young Millennial attendees\n• Explore real examples of how organizers and exhibitors are successfully delivering on these expectations\n• Gain practical recommendations directly from young professionals on where to focus next to strengthen engagement and long-term value \nIAEE webinars are free to members and available to non-members for $49.

SUMMARY:Getting Young Professionals Into The Events Industry: The Annabelle Project Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Description:  \nThe events industry doesn’t have a “talent shortage.” It has a relevance problem. Young professionals aren’t avoiding our industry because they lack interest\, they’re avoiding it because we’ve failed to clearly articulate the value of a career in events\, provide credible on-ramps\, and deliver early wins that justify long-term commitment. Career fairs\, internships\, and inspirational panels haven’t fixed the problem. In many cases\, they’ve made it worse. This session will provide a case study into the Annabelle Project which was designed as a direct response to that failure.   \nIn this 45- minute\, no-theory\, case-study-driven session\, Warwick Davies breaks down how a focused mentorship and exposure model has successfully moved college-age talent\, particularly students from HBCUs and Hispanic-Serving Institutions\, from industry-curious to industry-committed. This session challenges conventional “pipeline” thinking and replaces it with a practical\, repeatable system for attracting\, qualifying\, and retaining young professionals who actually stay. If your organization is serious about talent\, not optics\, this session will give you a different way to think\, decide\, and act.  \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nDiagnose why most young professional initiatives fail\, and identify the hidden assumptions that sabotage recruitment and retention efforts. \n\n\nDeconstruct the Annabelle Project model to understand how mentorship\, access\, and accountability create real career momentum—not temporary enthusiasm. \n\n\nImplement one immediately actionable shift that increases the perceived value of an events career to young professionals and strengthens long-term talent ROI. \n\nIAEE webinars are free to members and available to non-members for $49. This session is eligible to earn 0.75 clock hours towards CEM recertification.  \nPresenter(s): Warwick Davies

This session explores how people process information and allocate focus\, and how event design decisions directly influence engagement throughout an experience. Participants will learn how to reduce cognitive overload\, improve session flow\, and design agendas and environments that support sustained attention without adding more content or complexity. \nLearning Objectives \n\nExplain how attention functions in live and virtual event settings\nIdentify common event design choices that reduce focus and engagement\nApply practical strategies to support sustained attention\nDesign agendas and sessions that balance stimulation and recovery Built-in micro breaks will be used throughout the session to model attention-supportive design in real time.\n\n16 April 2026 \nSession 2: Designing for Memory: Creating Events People Actually Remember  \nWhile events often deliver large volumes of information\, much of it is forgotten shortly after the experience ends. This is the second session in the series and this session focuses on how memory is formed and how event design can support recall of key messages\, moments\, and experiences. \nParticipants will explore how session structure\, storytelling\, repetition\, and sensory cues influence memory and learn how to design experiences that help important messages stick beyond the event itself. \nLearning Objectives  \n\nDistinguish between engagement and long-term memory\nIdentify design elements that support retention and recall\nApply techniques that strengthen memory without increasing content volume\nBuild memory anchors into sessions\, exhibits\, and experiences. Memory-anchoring micro breaks will be integrated to demonstrate retention strategies in practice.\n\n23 April 2026 \nSession 3: Designing for Connection: How Events Build Trust\, Belonging\, and Meaningful Interaction \nConnection is central to successful events. This session explores how people experience social environments and how event design influences trust\, comfort\, and participation. Participants will learn how layout\, facilitation\, pacing\, and interaction design affect whether attendees feel included\, engaged\, and willing to participate\, and how these factors shape overall event outcomes. \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand how social environments influence engagement and trust\nIdentify barriers to interaction created by common event design choices\nDesign experiences that encourage meaningful connection\nApply inclusive strategies that support different engagement styles. Connection-focused micro breaks will be embedded to model interaction and reflection.\n\nPresenter: Lisa Schulteis\, Founder/Owner ElectraLime Marketing; Your Event Marketplace; Executive Director\, Northwest Event Show Seattle \nSponsors: New Orleans Morial Convention Center and New Orleans & Company

SUMMARY:Facilities and Site Selection - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Site selection is a crucial first step in producing a successful exhibition or event. This includes the process of choosing both a geographical location and a facility for an exhibition or event. Site selection consists of advanced detailed planning\, including access for attendees of all populations\, organizational goals and objectives\, exhibitor/attendee needs\, and transportation. Careful consideration should be given to all factors that could impact the success of the overall exhibition. \nAfter completing this course\, the participant should be able to: \n\nEvaluate and select a geographical location and a facility that meets the goals of the stakeholder\, as well as the exhibition and/or event\nDifferentiate between the types of facilities that host exhibitions and/or events\nDiscuss the similarities and differences between U.S. and non-U.S. facilities\nArticulate the value and economic impact of the exhibition on the host city\nIdentify potential revenue streams for facilities to aid in negotiations\nDiscuss and apply the key components of conducting a site visit\nGain an understanding of the essential elements required in a request for proposal (RFP)\nDiscuss the importance of both strategic and operational aspects of site selection\nIdentify members of the site-selection committee\n\nThere will be an optional 30-minute study period followed by an hour for the exam. Those that are recertifying\, not taking the exam\, or taking the course as not part of the CEM program will end their day at 2:30pm Central Time. \nInstructor: TBD \nLocation: Virtual \nFee: $349 members/$490 non-members
