Turning your Annual Conference into the Sector's Flagship Event

How to turn your annual event into a must-attend event for your community

This seminar covers the important topic of the Association Annual Event, which is critical to bringing together association members, stakeholders, partners and policymakers, and forming a vibrant community.

Join Tanya Walker from the European Association of Remote Sensing Companies to hear how she and her team transformed a gathering around the annual general meeting into EXPANDEO - the flagship event for the sector.

You will learn practical tips and strategies to help you transition your event into a must-attend annual event for your community through a deliberate focus on relevant topics, engagement with key stakeholders, and inclusion of policy perspectives from institutions such as the European Commission.
