“It is a city that inspires new ideas, new partnerships and out-of-the-box thinking. The birthplace of jazz, New Orleans is a hub of celebration and fosters a rich entrepreneurial ecosystem.”
NEW YORK (PRWEB) December 04, 2018
Mediaplanet will be sharing its Meetings & Events campaign at IAEE’s Expo! Expo!, December 11th-13th in amazing New Orleans, the leading exhibition to engage on the latest trends and technology in the events industry
The cross-platform campaign advocates for an increased emphasis on the importance of face-to-face meetings in the growing digital world. As we dive deeper into the digital revolution; telecommunication, social media, video conferencing and the cloud are making it easier for organizations to connect from distant locations without actually meeting people face to face. However, with less and less face to face communication, key parts of business such as trust, emotion and capturing attention are suffering. As day-to-day communication continues to become increasingly digitized, it is more important than ever to take action to incorporate business trips for in-person meetings, conferences, events, and corporate outings– the value of face to face communication and engagement still outweighs the cost of travel and attendance for creating lasting relationships.
Within the campaign, Robert Reso, Vice President of Convention Sales at New Orleans & Company, highlights the exciting atmosphere and event spaces available for hosting unforgettable events, or for engaging leisure and historical activities. “New Orleans is one of America’s most unique, authentic and iconic destinations,” he states. “It is a city that inspires new ideas, new partnerships and out-of-the-box thinking. The birthplace of jazz, New Orleans is a hub of celebration and fosters a rich entrepreneurial ecosystem.”
