Managing editor , Paul Colston
A s our CMW team heads to Frankfurt for the annual IMEX show , we examine here some German destinations and where the investment in time and money is going to build up Europe ’ s top meetings destination stock further . We also hear from VOK DAMS CEO about that Germany-based agency ’ s take on the market and where it is moving .
There is plenty to consider also in the fast moving world of AI , and PCMA explains its
Spark tool that is making a big splash for its association members . Also , one of PCMA ’ s recent Convening Leaders ’ popular young emcees , Holly Ransom , shares her philosophy of inclusive leadership . It is one that has shaken up many energy sector conferences Stateside and her thoughts are a recommended read for those looking for a fresh approach to engagement .
Our roving writer Richard John goes East to sample Langkawi ’ s incentives offer and then Down Under to Brisbane for a major five-page feature on the Queensland capital and its meetings market appeal .
If you are in Frankfurt at IMEX , 14-16 May , do look us up on the CMW stand B457 . We ’ re turning it into a mini video filming studio for the duration , so maybe that ’ s a platform you ’ d like to come and share a soundbite with us on ? n
