Fresh thinking and future thinking: creativity and trends explored at IMEX America

A shot of creativity goes a long way to remaining competitive and addressing future trends. This is the view of Susan Robertson whose mission is to ‘sharpen strategic creativity to produce real results.’

Ninu igba Play Room rẹ ni IMEX America, "Ṣe o yanju iṣoro ti ko tọ?" o fihan awọn olukopa bi wọn ṣe le sunmọ ipenija lati oju-ọna tuntun lati le wa pẹlu awọn imọran tuntun ati imotuntun. Susan, ẹni tí ó ń ṣe ìdánilẹ́kọ̀ọ́ ìrònú àtinúdá ní Yunifásítì Harvard, ṣàlàyé, “Einstein sọ pé ‘Bí mo bá ní wákàtí kan láti yanjú ìṣòro kan, èmi yóò lo ìṣẹ́jú 55 láti ronú nípa ìṣòro náà àti ìṣẹ́jú márùn-ún ronú lórí àwọn ojútùú.’”

Susan’s was one of many innovative sessions in the Play Room, the creative hotbed of the show, enabling planners to get hands on with tools, techniques and resources to develop new ideas and make meetings more interactive. It includes a dedicated innovation corner for out of the box thinking and an engagement corner for tricks on how to create a deeper and richer audience experience. There’s even the chance to set a Guinness World Record by tackling the “Beer Coaster challenge!”


Creativity and future thinking go hand in hand, as fresh thinking ensures planners can address forthcoming trends and incorporate them into their business. The German Convention Bureau gave an insight into the future of meetings in Research and innovation: See the future of meetings today. Attendees discovered trends in knowledge sharing, tech and meeting design from the Future Meeting Space – a project by the German Convention Bureau (GCB), European Association of Event Centres (EVVC) and The Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO. The GCB team, including Claudia the avatar, ran through future meeting scenarios and examples of how these have already been put into practice in Nuremburg, Leipzig and Munich.
