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

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.
