Affordably priced to maximize participation.
CONNECTION. EXPERIMENTATION. COLLABORATION. INNOVATION.
DATES: January 11 – 15, 2021
Recovery is coming. We all want to get back to the business of connecting people, ideas and opportunities. We also know that you want answers and insights on what the future holds for your careers and businesses.
Convening Leaders 2021 will be your community design lab for what business events will look like in a post-pandemic world.
We get it… money is tight. We are committed to making Convening Leaders 2021 affordable for anyone who wants to participate with a lead price of $295 USD. Because this is your future and the future of an industry that you built from invisible to invincible.
Making connections is a cornerstone of Convening Leaders. By offering a combination of streaming broadcast TV (with a live studio audience in some locations) and face-to-face experiences (details to come!) through our official network partners, Convening Leaders 2021 will connect with you where, how and when you want to participate.
We know the industry has been disrupted and has accelerated trends in ways we didn’t see coming. It’s time to embrace the change in order to thrive in the future.
We are here to explore a way forward and collaborate to build solutions.
PROGRAM
The program is based on 3 core theme areas — Participant Engagement, Business Models and Reskilling — developed from PCMA’s ongoing campaign of research, reskilling, event experimentation and education based on insights from you, for you.
Closed caption and/or interpretation will be available during the broadcast.

I’ve been coming to Convening Leaders for the past 10 years. I just think the education, the latest technology — anything you’re looking for to plan your meeting — it’s at Convening Leaders.

It’s a great refreshment of re-connecting and networking with people, and then on top of it, you get this great education and inspiring speakers. For me, it’s the best way to start off your year. If you’re not attending PCMA Convening Leaders, you really should.

It is the best conference I’ve ever attended. Ever. And, as a seasoned professional, I get so much out of it. I can’t tell you how many pictures I’ve taken on my phone of new ideas I’m looking forward to taking back to my corporation.

Everyone’s here. It’s a great opportunity for you to reconnect, reinvigorate yourself and be able to start fresh in the new year.

I'm looking forward to connecting with other event professionals and learning new strategies to create the best conference possible.

(2019 Convening Leaders was) my second time attending. I was genuinely blown away the first time and had gained so much exposure and experience from the previous year.
