Anne Dalgaard, CMM

@themiceblog Looking forward to being part of the event - and to learn what others think of management and leadership in the MICE industry 👍

Excited to welcome @EventAnne for the next Twitter Space to talk about management and leadership. We’ll discuss knowing the event WHY, strategy vs tactics, how events can support business objectives & more Set a reminder for this upcoming Space twitter.com/i/spaces/1PlKQ… #eventprofs

@MateyEvents @Nudgestock Already working (mentally) on adopting that format to my events! 🧐

Expert session in a car - why not, especially of the session is about the psychology of electric vehicles adoption?! Very creative @Nudgestock and inspiring one for #eventprofs 🤩 #Nudgestock2022

Events Are Back: But Where Are All the Attendees? Love the quote from @tamarbeck1: ".. the pandemic has fundamentally changed the way most people value their time"! #sotrue eventmanagerblog.com/why-event-atte…

@MateyEvents Me, me, me 👆👆👆

Something is brewing 🔥 who is in, #eventprofs?

@waynehoffman @themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents Great idea 👍 A ‘sample’ is always a great way to show the content without giving it all away up front.

@themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents @EventAnne I personally supply interactive videos that engage potential attendees. It shows them exactly what they’re getting in the experience during my virtual show

Q4: What do you do to get people to sign up and to show up to your event? #eventprofstalk #eventprofs @MateyEvents @EventAnne

@themiceblog @themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents Really important points 👍 That many planners forget, unfortunately 😒

@themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents @EventAnne Technology. Choose the right platform for your event/ community. Be mindful of notification, timezone, format, event length and how people want to engage with the event.

Q7: How can #eventprofs help their attendees feel less ‘overwhelmed’? #eventprofstalk #eventprofs @MateyEvents @EventAnne

@waynehoffman @themiceblog @MateyEvents @themiceblogHQ Woukd love to hear your opinion on the questions 👍

@themiceblog @MateyEvents @themiceblogHQ @EventAnne Is a mentalist allowed to join in?

Q1: What one event format/idea/concept/event design element stood out for you in the past year? #eventprofs #eventprofstalk @MateyEvents @EventAnne

@themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents Thanks for inviting me, @themiceblogHQ - and thanks to all who joined 🥳💪

And that’s a wrap for today! Thank you to our wonderful co-hosts @MateyEvents @EventAnne for the questions and the insights! Thank you to everyone who’ve joined today and shared their tips and best practice! #eventprofstalk #eventprofs

@themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents Know your audience! 🧠 Collect the data and use it. When you know your audience, you know how and what to market to them and they’ll only get what they need.

@MateyEvents @themiceblogHQ Ooh, debates … love those differences of opinions! But don’t see many of those in the event landscape these days.

@themiceblogHQ @EventAnne Also, same faces, same statements. Event content needs more controversy 🔥 A debate is never boring. #eventprofstalk

Q3: How do you define ‘noise’ in the crowded event space? #eventprofstalk #eventprofs @MateyEvents @EventAnne

@themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents I believe they are simply not interesting enough (in their content, format, experience design, marketing etc.) 😣

Q6: Why do you think many events/ messages get ‘unnoticed’ by the wide audience? Is it just too much, wrong timing, not interesting etc. #eventprofstalk #eventprofs @MateyEvents @EventAnne

@themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents Staying relevant and current intopics and formats. My target audience don’t go for too much glitter - they want cold facts.

Q5: How do you compete with all the other messages? What do you think is the best way to cut through the noise with YOUR event? #eventprofstalk #eventprofs @MateyEvents @EventAnne

@themiceblog @MateyEvents @themiceblogHQ I’m in! 😀

@MateyEvents @themiceblogHQ @EventAnne Why don't you start an event psychology Twitter chat? 😀

@robert_dunsmore @themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents Love your defintion 👍

@EventAnne @themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents I like to think of context as as asset for everyone (a headline) and the content as hyper personal

@themiceblog @MateyEvents @themiceblogHQ I agree!!

@MateyEvents @themiceblogHQ @EventAnne Love it. Event psychology should be the big topic for 2022!

@themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents As events that seem to be offered ‘just because you can’ 😟 Too many players in the field throw half-hearted online events marketed only a few days in advance. My pet peeve 😉

@robert_dunsmore @themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents This is so true! Though it’s difficult to make sure you match the right context for all - as it’s different for each person.

@themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents @EventAnne Context design is everything - context cuts through the noise - context is for everyone then content is hyper-personal

@themiceblog @MateyEvents @themiceblogHQ That’s true - but we event planners might need to think about what events should work on these kinds of budgets. Maybe not all events, but definitely some!

@MateyEvents @themiceblogHQ @EventAnne Yes, there are sill so many improvements to make. But think about the budgets, I don't know that many virtual/ hybrid events with TV/ Netflix budgets #eventprofstalk

@themiceblog @themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents Exactly! 😁

@EventAnne @themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents That's true, so goes the saying 'that virtual event could have been a newsletter' 🙈

@themiceblogHQ @MateyEvents I attend if the content is innovative and new and the speakers look interesting. I don’t care for repetition or 1:1 meetings for networking. I want to bump into people like we do at in person events, even if it’s online.

Q2: What is one thing that makes you attend an event? Is there a particular aspect that makes you NOT to attend an event? #eventprofs #eventprofstalk @MateyEvents @EventAnne
