World experts to track a Fast Future
LONDON – Fast Future Research has revealed the initial line up for its Convention 2020 strategic foresight study.
The research programme is designed to take a wide ranging and strategic perspective on the future of live events, venues and meeting destinations.
The project has also launched a TrendWiki powered by Data Rangers. Using TrendWiki, anyone who’s interested can enter their own views on the ideas, trends and issues that will shape the future of events.
Full details can be found on the project website at www.convention-2020.com which is being powered by Meetings Review.
The founding sponsors for the study are ICCA – The International Congress and Convention Association, IMEX the leading industry trade show and Fast Future Research.
The first platinum sponsors for the study are Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Qatar National Convention Centre, The Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) Conference Centre London, Visit London and BestCities Global Alliance (Cape Town, Copenhagen, Dubai, Edinburgh, Melbourne, San Juan, Singapore and Vancouver)..
Alongside leading global authorities that have agreed to become expert contributors to the study, three associations have become ‘thought partners’ – the National University of Singapore Society, the Norwegian Computer Society and the Pacific Asia Travel Association.
Rohit Talwar, project director and CEO of Fast Future said, “The response to the study has been fantastic.
“The sponsors, experts and associations who have already signed up are all genuine leaders in the field from around the globe.
“They are engaging with the research process in a very active way to ensure they get the maximum benefit from their involvement.â€
