As we begin 2017 , we look back on the past year with a feeling of “ did that really just happen ?” No matter what your political persuasion , no one can argue that the US Presidential election and the UK ’ s European Referendum were both seismic events that will continue to reshape the world over the coming years .
In amongst all of this disorder however , comes opportunity ; the need to communicate faceto-face is stronger than ever , while the surge of emerging technologies are actually enhancing the power of live events .
In this second edition of LIVE ! we hear from our Global Partners as to what we can expect to see from them in the year ahead and also learn from two of our Global Event Summit attendees on how they see that debate continue to develop .
We hope you continue enjoy reading LIVE ! and , as always , welcome your feedback , thoughts and ideas anytime . www . ileahub . com # MyILEA © ILEA 2017
