You’re invited to be part of a grassroots attempt to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the Largest Audience for a Virtual Conference on the 14 April 2020.
To break the record we need 15,000 people connected virtually at the same time.
Just 30 Minutes
All we need is for you to join us for 30 minutes on the 14 April 2020 and be part of #GMIDGOESVIRTUAL.
That’s it, that’s all we need, just spare us half an hour of your time and make a difference.
We promise that the session will be interactive and relaxing, it will be fun and serious and of course it will be fast paced and professional. It will be all of these contradictions because that is what event professionals are known for.
In this engaging 30 minute session we will be connecting with thousands of #EventProfs from all over the world to celebrate #GMID20 virtually.
This interactive session is designed to provide attendees with a forum to have their voices heard while contributing to valuable industry research.
Event Professionals Matter
The Global Meetings Industry Day (GMID) was created to be an international forum for advocacy, awareness and celebration for the meetings & events industry. Each year, event professionals from around the world come together to raise the collective voice of their community.
In 2020, GMID looks very different. COVID-19 has massively impacted all industries and the events sector is no exception. Based on advice from the World Health Organization (WHO), Health Canada and governments around the world, there will be no physical events this year for GMID.
But eventprofs wanted to meet and come together. To do so virtually was the answer. Having decided that, they set out to attempt to break a world record.
Event professionals work in a world of tight deadlines, ambiguity and conflicting demands from stakeholders. They smile, they challenge and they deliver experiences that help transform all sorts of industries that they serve. But, they are often working behind the scenes and become the invisible glue and help that makes conferences, exhibitions and events so memorable. Organisations of all types benefit by using event professionals. Their events are enhanced and better Return on Investment is shown.
Event professionals have been hit hard, not least because of the huge number of small businesses and freelancers that make up the creative space. Getting them and their supporters together to break a world record and have a ‘virtual hug’ seems appropriate right now.
