I think the meetings and events industry is moving in this same direction:
Why crisis planning is now incomplete without social media
In recent years, we’ve seen an important change in the way the world communicates around global crises such as natural disasters and terrorist attacks. This change is due to social media. Messages now spread faster and wider, and this communication can minimize the level of damage caused. Euan Semple explains exactly why communicators need to get up to speed with these tools sooner rather than later. The time invested, he says, will be invaluable in times of organizational crisis.
Why event planning is now incomplete without social media:
More and more events, meetings and workshops are finding to really tap into the three main objectives of live meetings- education, motivation and networking. They are all enhanced by social media and the other virtual experiences that can will ultimately be part of every event in the near future. Are event management guiding meetings in this direction? Or are meeting planners holding on to the old ways as long as possible?
