The global events industry must keep adjusting to keep up with client demands says Dorothee Anjos, General Manager at Multilem Middle East.

The B2B events industry is one of the most adaptive and versatile in the world. Even in the face of a global pandemic, event organisers transferred their formats and scale to cater to an audience confined to their homes.

The global MICE industry continues to grow and is currently worth an estimated £700bn. Over the past 18 months, we have seen a shift towards more compact and digital focused stand events, as clients look to reduce their physical footprint whilst maximising digital interaction. A digital approach also offers clients a lot more flexibility for any last minute changes or requirements.

What hasn’t changed is the creativity and innovation that customers expect. Clients are always looking for experiences that combine the efficiency and wow-factor of technology with personal, emotional connections that bring their vision to life.
