PCMA Convening Leaders: An Omnichannel Experience for Event Professionals
Affordably priced to maximize participation.
CONNECTION. EXPERIMENTATION. COLLABORATION. INNOVATION.
DATES: January 11 – 15, 2021
Recovery is coming. We 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. PCMA is leading the charge of recovery and we are thrilled to provide you Convening Leaders 2021.
Convening Leaders will be your community design lab for the future of business events. We will connect with you where, how and when you want to participate, through a hybrid experience and our official network partners. Our partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board and Marina Bay Sands created the Global Broadcast Center for Convening Leaders in Singapore, which will be experienced in part by their state-of-the-art broadcast studio.
You can also join in person at one of our Official Network Partners destinations. Details are coming soon. Learn more on the three experiences: Networking and Thought Leadership, Networking Destinations and Thought Leadership Sponsors.
We know money is tight, so we are committed to making Convening Leaders 2021 affordable for anyone who wants to participate with a lead price of $295 USD.
Let’s get ready to get back to business and better than before! 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.
PROGRAM
The program is based on four learning tracks to Recovery Discovery. These studios were 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.

COMMUNITY
Community comes in all shapes and sizes and places. Whether you join in person or online, you’ll have a just-right community for your journey through the Convening Leaders experience.
During event registration, we ask questions about your professional interests and types of organizations so we can create groups for you to connect with during the event. You’ll also have your own 1:1 video chat to connect personally with other attendees.
We are also offering Chapter events throughout North America along with Official Network events brought to you by our partners across the globe. Some will take place in a sought-after venue. Others will offer sizzle-reel worthy new media experiences. All gatherings will follow local public health recommendations for size and safety protocols.
Additional in-person networking opportunities are being worked on and will be shared as the program develops.
