At IMEX Frankfurt this week, we at #MEET4IMPACT were honored to join Destination Canada’s Virginie De Visscher, The Iceberg, and GainingEdge in sharing the first results of the groundbreaking Legacy & Impact Study. This study, which aims to shed light on the beyond-tourism benefits of business events, marks a significant step forward for our industry.
We are excited to see the progression of this study and the insights that will echo in the industry. Early findings reveal that business events can leave an extraordinary policy, financial, and intellectual impact by leveraging four key factors: government participation, external collaboration, Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) involvement, and pre-event activities.
