no limits – energize your business

Groundbreaking impulses, innovative tools and strengthened networks – the event industry is moving closer together and developing further together.

MEET EUROPE, LOCATIONS! and Allseated are cooperating and invite you to the joint networking event „no limits“ on 16.02.2022. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the event will take place digitally, meetings are planned in virtual space with atmosphere and feel-good character. The focus is on interaction, exchange and knowledge transfer.

On 8 & 9 December 2021, this year’s MEET GERMANY event series was to conclude in an analogue summit in Munich. Due to the increasing COVID infections and after consultation with exhibitors, partners and planners, the business network decided to hold the event digitally in February. Although the LOCATIONS trade fair series was successfully held in Munich in October, hybrid events cannot take place in the first quarter of the new year due to the pandemic. Here, too, a digital industry congress was planned at the beginning of the year with the company’s own virtual platform ViLOCX and its exhibitors and partners. In designing digital and hybrid formats in virtual space, both organisers place great value on genuine encounters and interaction between the event participants with a personal atmosphere and feel-good character. And in doing so, they work together with Allseated, an experienced partner for virtual and hybrid event solutions with unique, innovative platform solutions Allseated EXVO for virtual events in digital locations twins.

Now all three companies are coming together for the first time in this form with a joint virtual and purely digital live event on 16 February 2022. The reasons for a partnership are sometimes different, but the goals are the same for the managing directors Tanja Schramm, Nicole Stegmann and Sabine Reise: to jointly offer their own networks a new and larger range of offers, new contact and exchange opportunities and informative content with a joint digital industry event as the start of the year. Event planners and meeting professionals from the German-speaking region are invited to experience top trends in the meeting and event industry, experts, exciting tips & formats. On this day, participants put together their own individual programme, find out about new locations and service providers in the virtual trade exhibition and network with colleagues and experts.

The 3D experience platform Allseated EXVO enables mobility and autonomy in the digital location twin with your own robot avatar. In the 3D location, networking is experienced through face-to-face exchanges between exhibitors and participants, as well as group discussions via video conferencing. This mobility also allows visitors to move freely through the virtual location, experience chance encounters and be inspired visually and emotionally – pure event feeling.

For us, „no limits“ is not only the appropriate event title, but also reflects the limitless possibilities in the 3D space of Allseated EXVO. With our own robot we give mobility and autonomy back to the participant and create completely new interaction possibilities between participants and exhibitors in the digital twin. As co-organisers alongside LOCATIONS! and MEET EUROPE, we are sending a strong signal into and for the market with this joint event“, Sabine Reise, Managing Director Allseated

The experience factor is strengthened by a multifaceted knowledge forum. The organisers are relying less on classic lectures and are instead transferring participatory and interactive formats into the virtual world. Whether thematic guided tours, thematic workshops, best practice cases and formats such as „Fishbowl“, „WorldCafé“ or „Speed Geeking“ – the aim is to convey information quickly, entertainingly and in a targeted manner and to connect interests.

In terms of content, everything revolves around „no limits – energize your business“. Changes, progress, trends, developments and perspectives in the event industry are presented from different perspectives and by experts. New technologies, changing forms of mobility, communication, sustainability and new work will play an overriding role.

„Of course, we were very much looking forward to our live event; as before, personal contact in our network comes first. We want to enable people to meet. Now. With Allseated EXVO’s platform, we can do that in virtual space and come very close to a live event. In addition, with Allseated EXVO and LOCATIONS! we have two strong, experienced partners at our side who are just as active and forward-thinking as we are. Together we want to venture into other formats, gather new experiences and learn from them. To break with the existing, to think differently. Strengthen with new ideas. To give courage. We cordially invite our sector to join us.“ Tanja Schramm, CEO, MEET EUROPE

„Even though I always prefer personal contact with exhibitors, visitors and friends to digital, this event should be a unique experience and bring participants into conversation with as many members of the event industry as possible, regardless of location. To go new ways together, to discover new opportunities and concepts. And to reshape the process of change – to help shape it. As a future congress, we want to manage with strong partners like MEET EUROPE to network even better, to increase interactivity, to promote communication and to contribute with practical content to pointing out perspectives and developing new ideas. With our ALLSEATED solution ViLOCX, we have been demonstrating for quite some time that trade exhibitions with a programme are also possible virtually. That’s why I know how important a reliable, innovative platform is for business, reach, experience value and content“, Nicole Stegmann, owner LOCATIONS – Messe

Save the date: 16 February 2022. Information on the programme and registration will follow shortly. Interested providers can contact the respective organisers.
