“Our education programme is not a one size fits all approach, a fact that is clearly demonstrated by the expertise and knowledge of those delivering our bespoke healthcare sessions,” comments Steve Knight, The Meetings Show’s Event Director. “The healthcare and pharmaceutical industries are amongst the largest organisers of meetings and events in the world, they face some of the greatest challenges in terms of compliance, logistics and technology; and we consider it our responsibility to deliver content that is of significant benefit to them as individuals.”
The Meetings Show’s approach to education continues to focus on the delivery of quality content identified and created by industry leaders with direct experience working in key sectors.
“Our research has clearly shown that education needs to be bespoke to individual audiences attending the show,” continues Knight. “This has resulted in a wide ranging programme split into clearly defined streams covering the healthcare sector, technology, agencies, meeting design, in house corporate organisers and PAs. All of which are in addition to the focused Association Meetings Conference taking place on 6 July at The QEII Centre.” Created in partnership with Caroline Mackenzie, Director, Association Services, Zibrant, the healthcare stream directly responds to the needs and issues of professionals delivering conferences, meetings and events for the healthcare and pharmaceutical markets.
