Were proud to partner with Meetings Focus Magazine to extend the audience for their live panel discussion at IMEX America, said Nick Balletta, CEO of TalkPoint. Live video broadcasts are one of the many resources for organizations to expand their meetings globally, and TalkPoint is happy to support this event and the growth of meetings overseas.
The rapidly expanding global nature of the meetings business, and the evolution of many associations to include an international audience, means that meeting planners will increasingly find themselves charged with planning meetings, events, conferences, conventions and trade shows outside of North America, joining the already strong presence of international incentive programs, said Tyler Davidson, chief content director of Meetings Focus. Our live broadcast from IMEX America will tap the knowledge of key experts who have extensive experience in the international meetings arena, and with the use of TalkPoint technology, well deliver that knowledge and key strategic and logistical advice to an audience that will both be in attendance at the event as well as participate online.
