Unique Learning Environment for Attendees Directly on Show Floor
The International Association of Exhibitions and Events™ (IAEE) will unveil its VIBE Lounge at Expo! Expo! IAEE’s Annual Meeting & Exhibition to be held 11-13 December 2018 in New Orleans, La. Located on the 1300 aisle of the Expo! Expo! show floor, the VIBE Lounge, in partnership with a2z Inc., will feature peer-to-peer networking discussions led by industry thought leaders who will share their Values, Interests, Beliefs and Energy with attendees.
“The highly interactive format of Expo! Expo! lends itself to unique learning experiences such as the VIBE Lounge,” said IAEE President & CEO David DuBois, CMP, CAE, FASAE, CTA. “These bite-sized information exchanges provide attendees the perfect opportunity to combine networking and education without missing a beat because it is right on the show floor.”
“Peer-to-peer educational discussions take the formalities out of the education process and allow attendees to be more open in sharing their thoughts and questions,” added a2z, Inc. Sr. Director of Emerging Business Bill McGlade, CEM. “Perfectly suited on the show floor, these micro sessions lend themselves to be a seamless follow-up to full conference sessions or a way to engage attendees in a more wholistic and communicative environment for the event.”
