Abstract

The increasing complexity of today’s world affects the meetings industry in all its variety. Meetings, conventions, and events serve as platforms for the exchange of experiences and ideas. As a result, successful organisation is also dependant on numerous terms and conditions of context – and this won’t change in the next decades. Events can help promote innovation. They can provide impetus for political, scientific and social processes and encourage international understanding. Therefore, it is imperative for key actors to adress future issues early on, communicate them and come up with plans of action. Modern future research can make a significant contribution by offering support and suggestions.
