Conference Planners: Weigh-In on the Future of Conference Content

MADISON, Wis., Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Omnipress, provider of print and digital content solutions for associations and other organizations, publishes its well-known State of the Conference Industry Report using data compiled from an online survey of association professionals, a majority of whom are primarily responsible for conference planning. The goal of the report is to provide peer-to-peer benchmarking as well as ideas and trends associations can use in strategic planning sessions.

For instance, the 2019 Report, which was published earlier this year, highlighted some of the following noteworthy trends:

    --  With member demographics more diverse than ever, associations continue
        to increase the number of content formats they provide to attendees for
        a single event
    --  As a result, meeting planners are spending more time simply managing
        content, and less time to use this content to help drive member growth
    --  At the same time, there are significant opportunities to use the
        educational content sourced for a conference to achieve objectives in
        other areas of the organization--particularly as it relates to
        connecting with young professionals
    --  In fact, generational preparedness continues to be a significant area of
        opportunity for most associations
    --  The conversation is shifting away from whether to deliver print or
        digital content, toward potentially more complex educational
        trends--like mobile and micro-learning--that could ultimately impact how
        the conference is structured

What insights will be gained in 2020? Conference planners and association professionals are encouraged to contribute to next year's report by completing a 7-minute online survey. The results will be featured in Omnipress' 2020 State of the Industry Report, to be published in late January.
