Last week, Convene CEO and Co-founder Ryan Simonetti unveiled his 2025 meeting and event industry predictions on a webinar with Business Travel News.

Cultivating personalized and memorable attendee experiences will be the catalyst for change in 2025. It will drive the need for more production services, immersive brand experiences, and creative activations - which in turn will have an impact on venue selection, including the rise of independent venues and shift towards local and regional events. We will see outsourced, experience-driven internal events become intertwined with organizational workplace and cultural strategies. And across it all, the adoption of new technologies including A.I. will transform the role of event planner to experience designer.
