LiveCom Alliance was founded in 2016 on the believe that the live communication industry deserves a pan-European approach and audience, and would benefit from an overarching dedicated yet independent institution. Today, 3 years since the foundation it’s time to take our next steps, strengthen our role and secure the future of LiveCom Alliance.
In securing that position, we aimed to find a strategic industry partner that would help drive us forward, without challenging our independence and/or integrity. That partner was found in BOE, the International trade show for experience marketing, who have committed to support not only financially but also in facilitating the annual kick-off for the Alliance during BOE and setting up a platform to underline the impact of Live in the pan-European industry. Maarten Schram, founder/MD of the Alliance states: “We are extremely proud to have launched this partnership and I am confident this partnership will boost awareness for Live amongst a broader audience.”
It’s a pleasure to announce, our current board member and treasurer Ivo Franschitz (EMBA – AT) is the new chairman of LiveCom Alliance. Ivo succeeds our former chairman Jan Kalbfleisch (FWD. – DE).
Indeed, of the seven categories of marketing spend monitored by the Bellwether report, only events saw growth in Q3.
Changed market conditions mean that we, as an events industry, have to deal with a new reality.
