you are invited to attend June 21st - 23rd 2012 Killarney Ireland a new dawn in meetings : the future is hybrid discover the Future of Live Events in one of the world s most beautiful destinations Complimentary Educational Event / Limited Availability / Register Before Friday 25th May
Meet Smarter is designed to showcase the exponential power of Hybrid Meetings and Events, that is, live meetings and events combined with social media. By including social media platforms in your overall meeting or event design you naturally extend the life and reach of the message way beyond the time and place of the meeting itself. Turn passive spectators into active participants and achieve new levels of engagement with your meeting or event content. MCI believes that when people come together, magic happens. But when face to face meetings and events are powered by social media then that magic keeps going on and on. It s not who attends your meeting, it s who participates. So says Sebastien Tondeur, CEO of MCI, a global provider of services to the meetings and events industry.
