Deadline: March 15, 2017

Technology has become such a part of our daily life, both in business and in our
personal lives, that it’s hard to remember a time when we didn’t use technology
in some form or another. Gone are the days of payphone banks in hotel lobbies,
once an important selling feature so that meeting attendees could make theircalls in between meetings, because there was no such thing as a cellphone in the
1980s. Anyone younger than 30 has no clue what I’m talking about right now, but
trust me everyone, it happened.
My point in sharing that example is that the technology available to us as meeting
planners will always be evolving and as meeting professionals, it’s important for
us to embrace that change in our industry or we risk being left behind, like anunused pay phone. We need to be well versed in technology tools like mobile
event apps, the latest presentation technology, and web-based conferencing
programs, just to name a few.
With that in mind, I challenge you to embrace new technology this year and try
something new at your own meetings, even if it’s something as simple as setting
up a Skype meeting instead of the usual conference call. If you’re really ambitious,
Jen Mell has an interesting article in this issue of the Agenda about drone
technology and events (page 10). For more event technology ideas, check out oneof the industry’s best technology experts, Corbin Ball, at www.corbinball.com.

President's Column
Finally! Spring is here...well, almost.
By the time this column reaches you I’m truly hoping it’s feeling like spring or at least right around the corner. Spring is myfavorite time of year…the sun shines longer and everything starts to get its color back. Spring also makes me think of growth
and rejuvenation.
A sure sign of rejuvenation in MPI is the “changing of the guard” within our Board of Directors. I am so pleased to announce
the following members have accepted positions on our 2017-2018 Board of Directors:

Last but not least this spring is our Education Day eventin May, which will be held at the Green Lake ConferenceCenter. If you haven’t joined us in May before, be sure
to block your calendar starting on Wednesday evening
for a fantastic opening reception and then spend thewhole day Thursday growing your skills and knowledge
with several education topics. Keep an eye out for more
information on the MPI-Wisconsin website for a fulllisting of speakers and topics. After a day and a halfof spending time with your MPI friends, you’re boundto leave Green Lake feeling rejuvenated and ready totackle the rest of spring!
It’s not too late to join the CMP 101 sessions if you’re
thinking of growing your career. These small-groupsessions are geared for those studying for their CMP
exam and are included in the registration cost for the
events listed above!
Before signing off, I want to share a couple thoughts
on technology, the umbrella topic for this edition of
the Agenda. As you’ll see thumbing through the pages
here, there’s new technology being developed andimplemented every day in and for our industry. I’m what
you call a “late adopter” when it comes to technology…I
tend to let other people check out the new tech gadgets
and apps. If you’re like me, stretch yourself to try some
new technology this spring. Whether it’s a new app
for your next event, new planning software for youreveryday life or some cool new tech thing to try (i.e.
drones dropping drink tickets from atop your generalsession!), give something a try and grow your experience
with anything “techie.” And for those of you that jumpat the chance to try new tech-gadgets, be sure to shareyour experiences with fellow MPI members. You’rebound to rejuvenate your love of the tech world while
sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.

The Drones Are Coming!
By: Jennifer Mell, CMP

Have you ever flown a drone?
My teenage son wants to be a drone pilot when he grows
up. What does that even mean? The only things that cometo my mind are either joining the military to carry out covert
operations or him standing in a field just flying his drones allday! However, when researching more about this I realized
there’s many applications for drones (a.k.a. unmanned aircraft
systems) and even more surprising to me, in the meeting andevents industry.

●

There’s so much to see! The footprint of thisconference is BIG. Imagine using drones to fly overhead
and display the action on a screen for all to see in thegeneral session. Not only does this promote all theactivities at the event but these drones could also be
used strategically to break up traffic flow issues.

●

Give me something free! Talk about a fun sponsorship
opportunity! What if one of the local adult beverage
establishments had created a free drink voucher anddropped them randomly from a drone flying highabove the massive general session room while waitingfor presentations to start? Not only would you be
the talk of the room for your logo’d drone zooming
around, you’d also increase traffic (and sales) in yourestablishment.

●

The bookstore is so busy! Every year, WEC has an
on-site bookstore with printed materials from various
speakers, textbooks for budding CMP’s, and more.
With the right payment system in place, the bookstore
could have an online inventory you purchase right fromyour smartphone and a drone delivers your purchaseright to you.

In June, I attended MPI’s World Education Congress (WEC)
in Atlantic City. This conference hosts thousands of planners
and suppliers to provide the best opportunity for networking,education, marketplace and trying out new ideas in event design!
●

What if I couldn’t have attended? Using drones anddrone-inspired technology to offer virtual attendanceand break down the barrier between face-to-face andvirtual events could make a huge impact. By deploying
first-person view, remote attendees could experience
the event online – from the marketplace floor, togeneral sessions and beyond.

●

Smile for the camera! This year’s opening reception
was right on the beach of the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
The footprint of this event felt massive between
dozens of food stations, lounging canopies, lively
dance floor and huge bar…right on the sand. Now
imagine a drone flying overhead capturing footage ofthe event, snapping photos of groups of people, andfor the event organizers, footage of the traffic flow inorder to plan even more efficiently next year.

●

What if I was planning this conference? I’ve often
imagined being on the planning team for thisincredible, industry conference. If I couldn’t makeit to the site inspection, could a drone help me?
For sure! Industry leader, Freeman, has enhanced
their web-based tool PLANTOUR to include droneinspired technology such as venue fly-throughs, usercontrolled 360 imagery, and immersive real life viewsof meeting spaces and facilities.

SWEET OPTIONS
These are only a few of the ideas being used and developed
for meetings and events with this technology. One thing
to note: As exciting as these ideas are, not just anyone canlegally operate a drone. There are strict regulations for drone
use in general, and certainly for business use. There are many
professionals trained and certified by the FAA, so, I would
encourage you to seek them out for use in your own meetingsand events. You can learn more about these regulations at
https://www.faa.gov/uas.

The VR (R)evolution
By: Tom Graybill

The meeting experience is constantly in evolution.
From flip charts to slide shows to PowerPoint to Prezi
to streaming live content, technology provides new
avenues to engage and inform our audiences.
A next step in that evolution is Virtual Reality, or VR. In anutshell, VR involves immersing an audience (often a remoteaudience) completely in an environment, while giving them
the freedom to look in almost any direction versus the flat
plane of a standard video signal (like your television). For theviewer, this often means putting on a headset or using theirsmartphone combined with Google cardboard or a similar
type of strap-on headgear for viewing.

The resulting feed can be sent to YouTube through its
web streaming application to share with your audience.
Imagine setting up a 360-degree camera in the midst of youraudience, with a clear view of the stage and the rest of theroom. Those who can’t attend the event can tune in the web
stream and essentially be part of the audience, watching thestage action but also looking in all directions to experience
the sights and sounds of your show.
Live events could be staged solely as VR experiences in the
future, with the audience entering an empty room, putting
on a headset and earphones while they sit in the audienceand view the presentations. And when it is time to head out
to separate breakout sessions, the attendees won’t need toleave their seat but rather select which session they want
to attend right from their headgear. Participants sitting rightnext to each other could be part of different breakouts!

Google Cardboard VR
So what does this mean for the future of meetings?
Live VR events
Technology is already available to make the VR experience
possible for your live events. One of the components ofthat technology is the 360-degree camera rig. There areseveral of these units on the market, with different lensarrangements and levels of quality.
In general terms, the rigs fall into two categories: a single
camera with two or more lenses, and a rig with multiple
cameras combined together.
Both systems combine the view of the lenses to create acomplete picture in all directions. In general, the more thelenses (or cameras), the larger and more detailed the image.
This “stitching” is accomplished either in the camera or byusing software in a computer connected to the camera.

12|

Mar/Apr 2017

Venue promotion/virtual site visits/tourism
Another application of this technology is for promotional
videos for venues and hotels. Rather than a photo showing
one side of a ballroom, a 360-degree video (or photo) can
provide meeting planners with a complete view of a space.
Graphics and voiceover narration could be added to a video
to provide additional information and features and benefitsof the real estate. For an example of a 360-degree video,
please visit the MPI-Wisconsin YouTube channel.
This approach can extend to any other vital attractions at
a venue. What a unique way to showcase a rooftop patio,
waterpark, restaurant, or other amenity.
The tourism industry is already embracing the VR experience,as you can ride rollercoasters, swim with dolphins (there areunderwater rigs), or just explore a city as if you are there.
VR turns viewing into experiencing. The revolution is coming.

						January Event Recap - The Solution Circle
By: Maria Peot, CMP
MPI-WI kicked off the new year with a fantastic education
event on January 19th at the newly remodeled Embassy Suites
by Hilton Milwaukee in Brookfield, WI. The day started out
with optional pre-event sessions for members; MPI 101 fornew members or those thinking about joining MPI and CMP
101 for seasoned members who are studying for or interested
in earning their CMP designation.
The day officially began with lunch and brief remarks from
our Community Outreach partner for January, Globall Giving.
Attendees were asked to donate new or gently used sports
equipment which would be given to organizations and individuals in the local area. A fantastic “surf and turf” lunch wasserved, and members had the opportunity to network andcatch up after an MPI-WI holiday hiatus!
January’s education session was led by Tara Liaschenko, CMM,
who returned to Wisconsin with The Solution Circle. This
popular session has been done with our chapter before, but
the best part of this session is that every time you experienceit, you take away something new and different. After a brief
activity in front of the large group, where Tara brought audience members up to the front of the room, we began to tackle
problems at our individual tables. Each participant was able toshare a work issue and receive feedback, ideas and commentsfrom the entire table. The session is very eye opening, as it
truly shows how the collective knowledge of a small group ofpeople can accomplish much more than an individual can on
his or her own.
The Embassy Suites spoiled attendees with a “green” themed
break, complete with spinach and artichoke dip, melon skewers, green tortilla chips and much more! Following the education session, attendees enjoyed more networking, raffle prizes,
passed hors d'oeuvres and cocktails in the gorgeous hotel
atrium. Optional tours of the hotel’s newly renovated guest
rooms were also given at this time.

February Event Recap - Meetings Gone Wild!
By: Maria Peot, CMP
MPI-WI traveled to Manitowoc on February 9th for anothergreat day of education and networking. The Holiday Inn Manitowoc and the Manitowoc Area Visitor and Convention Bureau
were our “Hosts on the Coast” for the day. Both MP1 101, an
info session for new or potential members, and CMP 101, an
education session for potential CMPs, were offered as optional
pre-event sessions.
Lunch was served in the sunny atrium of the hotel where announcements were made and attendees had the opportunity
to network while enjoying a fresh salad and satisfying meal ofchicken, rice and veggies. The February Community Outreachpartner was In-Courage, an organization supporting victims ofdomestic abuse and sexual assault. Event attendees were asked
to donate household items needed by the shelter.
Lieutenant Commander Chip Lutz presented the February education session “Meetings Gone Wild! Getting The Job Done With
Less Stress and More Fun!” - utilizing humor and anecdotes
from his life as an Navy Officer to teach us how to “eat the cake”.
Attendees learned attitudes for breaking the stress barrier,strategies for moving past stressful events and how to get backup when life knocks you down. A combination of storytellingby Chip and amongst ourselves in small groups at our tables
made for a lively and fast paced afternoon.
The Holiday Inn provided a delicious sweet treat break, featuring locally made Cedar Crest ice cream! Once the education
session concluded, attendees returned to the atrium for a gourmet feast of smoked salmon, coconut shrimp with house mademango sauce, hard carved beef tenderloin and more. More
networking ensued as the attendees enjoyed these tasty bites
before heading out, after a relaxing day on the “coast”!

April Speaker:

Brandt Krueger, Owner, Event Technology Consulting
It’s hard to believe when
I got in the business overtwenty years ago thatthe most technologicallyadvanced piece ofequipment we were using
on our events was a 5
disc CD player. “Can you
believe it? You can put in
5 discs at once and playdinner jazz all night!”
Now planners’ heads are
exploding with all thetechnological tools andtoys at their disposal. Thelines between AV and IT have blurred, and a new industry of“event technology” has been born.
We’ve come a long way since those days, but what continues
to amaze me is while the technology itself advances in leaps
and bounds, so many of the fundamentals of what we want
to do with it, and how it works, haven’t changed at all.
Instead of a 5 disc changer playing dinner jazz, we use an
iPod loaded up with a playlist for every possible meeting or
event theme, and if we don’t have it handy? Grab your cell
phone and find it on the Internet.
We still need to register our attendees for our events, keep
track of those reservations (including flights, hotel rooms,
and desired sessions), print name badges, provide conference
schedules and maps, track attendance for CE credits, light up
our Keynote speaker on stage and display their presentation,
allow for an audience Q&A, set the mood lighting for theevening party, hear the band play through a high quality
audio system, and survey the attendees to see if they got themost out of the event. All of that, and more.
Some industries are on the cutting edge of technology,
always trying the latest and greatest at their events, whileothers are content to sit back and wait. Those that werefirst into the fray started experimenting with mobile event
apps, audience interaction technology, moving head lighting,

20|

Mar/Apr 2017

and even broadcasting
their events to a remoteaudience around theworld via the Internet.
While a lot of thattechnology was bleedingedge just five years ago,
it’s now fully come ofage - seasoned, mature,and ready for you to
implement.
If you were waiting, 2017is the time to look and see
how technology can makeyour events more efficient, engaging, and meaningful forboth you and your attendees. If you’re ready to take things to
the next level, the new year brings exciting new technology.
Either way, it’s time to re-evaluate your meeting and event
technology!
I’m looking forward to discussing these topics and more atyour April meeting!

Why MPI?
NICOLE SLEMINCHRIS ALBERTI

Senior Sales Manager
Hyatt Regency Milwaukee

Producer
Derse

The decision to join MPI Wisconsin wasan easy one. From the moment I attended
my first MPI event as a guest, I was madeto feel welcome by the group.
Walking into a room filled with a close-knit group ofpeople is daunting. My nerves were calmed as every
MPI member I met took a genuine interest in who I was
and where I was from. Throughout the day, members
encouraged me to join, and even suggested ways forme to jump in and get involved. My interactions left me
feeling included and invigorated.

While the food and networking were definite
highlights, the education session was
informative/interactive, and the evening
reception provided wonderful time for more
intimate conversations with members.

I am very excited to be part of such a strong MPI
chapter. As a new member, I am looking forward togetting involved, networking with new and seasoned
industry professionals all while taking part in MPI
Wisconsin’s wonderful educational opportunities.

My first experience at MPI was a positive
one and I was pleasantly surprised about theexperience. I knew my former co-worker at
Derse, Tamara Jesswein, was a highly active
member of MPI and she has always spoken highly of her
involvement. When Tamara moved on from the Derse
team for another exciting opportunity it left me with anopportunity to take on more of the company’s meeting &event projects. With my background in consumer events, I
welcomed the opportunity.
Recently I was able to attend the MPI meeting in Brookfield,
WI as a guest. This was my first time with the group and I
attended the MPI 101 session to start the day. MPI101 wasa great opportunity to learn and understand what MPI was
all about and what it would offer me professionally. My
initial impression was that I liked the mix of perspectives andparticipants from planners, to vendors and students looking
to learn and get into the industry. I found it to be a relaxed
and positive environment and everyone I spoke to wasfriendly and made me feel welcome.
The afternoon session was an interactive group exercise.
We worked in groups of 10, and discussed each other’s
work challenges and opportunities and then debated best
options for solutions to each individual’s work challenge.
I was really struck by the different perspectives offered
between the planners and vendors. Not only was it aninteresting interactive, but being able to listen and hear theopinions and knowledge from so much industry experience
was eye opening.
I am planning on working towards becoming a CMP and
believe the members of MPI and current CMPs will be agreat resource in guiding me down this path. I look forward
to the opportunity to interact and learn from this group as amember. I see a lot of opportunity here, not only education
but meeting industry professionals who I can work with on
future events.
