Managing director of MICE Knowledge, Rob Davidson talks to Alastair about how the business events industry is evolving to serve Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. He explains why conferences can’t be one-size-fits-all, how younger attendees demand interactive participation, and what event planners must do to create experiences that cater to every age group. In this episode, Rob explains why face-to-face events still matter in a digital world and why multigenerational networking can thrive with the right approach.
