Engage > Back Like We Never Left

Back Like We Never Left

By Veleisa Patton May 06, 2011

Fellow communicators and all-star editors at sister blog PlusPoint made a very good point to me: Engage has fallen off the blogging wagon! So Theresa Davis and I have rededicated ourselves to making sure we’re finding ways to get the latest news to you on this channel.

So what’s been happening you ask? Quite a bit.

We’ve launched a new portal at mpiweb.org: Professional Development On Demand, a.k.a. PD On Demand. Through this section of the site, we are able to bring more than 130 hours of CEU eligible content, which includes video and audio from events and webinars, which planners can use toward industry certification. We recognized that streamlining this library of information makes visiting the website easier for members who are preparing for the CMP or looking to maintain CEU hours. So if you haven’t gotten a chance to interact with the PD On Demand portal, consider this your introduction and go learn.

What else, what else? Oh yeah, the redesigned WEC 2011 experience. It’s kind of a big deal. New rules of engagement in our post-recession industry mean that professionals need brain, face, brand and personal time. We addressed this with the introduction of attendee driven content like Solution Rooms and the Hive and the continuation of the highly successful Hosted Buyer Program. The industry has noticed and responded with a resounding “yes!” to the WEC 2011 experience.

We have more stories to tell; Keep updated through following @MPI on twitter, becoming a fan on facebook and joining the official MPI group on LinkedIn.

Great post, Jeff, and great conversation. I’m curious to hear from more people after the event about the relative value of the F2F event vs. the virtual. As Sue Pelletier mentioned, this is a debate every association faces. It is also foremost on the minds of exhibitions and user conferences. The Event Marketer, a Red 7 Media company, chose to make their EMS event available at a smaller price, including the ability to purchase individual sessions for cheap. I thought that they did the best job I have seen of anyone charging for online content from a F2F event.I agree with you that the online content needs to be free, but not because it should be. I believe it needs to be, in no small part, because of people like yourself, who strongly expect it to be free. And because making content available for free, even some of it, will generate interest in the event, the organization, and it’s community. Ultimately, it will drive higher attendance to the F2F event – I truly believe that. Organizers will need to make some or all of this content available online, for free, just to compete. Once there is enough data in the industry calming organizer’s fears that online content will cannibalize onsite attendance, the floodgates will open. Right now, they’re all convinced that no one will go to their event if the content is available for free. I had hoped the event marketing institute would generate this data but they seem to be focused as myopically on how to drive people to F2F events as the oil industry is on how to find more oil. In both cases they’re missing the sea change around them. I am not outraged at MPI’s decision because, as Bruce MacMillon has stated, this is an experiment. They are testing the waters and plan to report back to members on how it went. That is a brave maneuver and while it will certainly impact their membership, if they back it with a quality experiment in the “free” direction then I applaud their leadership.
