Some planners want to incorporate social media into their
conferences, but fear attendees will reject it. There are others
who want to have the latest and greatest, and are looking at mobile
apps, games, holograms and projection mapping. And still there are
those who struggle to get attendees to...

10-16). This global Women's Week, featuring a 2-Day Conference and
100+ Pop Up Events around the world, is a massive event and we were
