Inspiration Hub

Congratulations to our strategic partner, #MEET4IMPACT, on 5 years of impact and legacy consulting excellence for Business Events. We invite you to download its inaugural impact report, “5 Years of Meeting for Impact“, which it describes as “a collective achievement that reflects the unwavering drive and intent within the business events and tourism industry to foster positive change”.

The business events impact report emphasises the transition to a paradigm where positive impact is integral to organisational objectives, resource allocation, decision-making, and action. It serves as both an inspiration and a call to accountability for the industry.

“Transitioning to a paradigm where impact is central to defining objectives, allocating resources, making decisions, and taking action is no small feat for any organisation. It requires humility, transparency, and a commitment to learning from insights gained. By sharing the outcomes of this journey now, we aim to inspire others while holding ourselves accountable for past actions and future endeavors,” says Geneviève Leclerc, CMP, Co-Founder & CEO of #MEET4IMPACT.

#MEET4IMPACT is dedicated to transforming the business events and tourism sector into powerful catalysts for social change. By creating a framework to define, manage, and measure the social impact of events, #MEET4IMPACT empowers event professionals, delegates, researchers, and local communities to collaborate and drive positive societal transformation. Through strategic partnerships and a network of passionate #agents4impact, we champion the integration of purposeful events into the core of our industry, fostering a culture of sustainability, social responsibility, and meaningful impact.
