The Best Social Media from the Events Industry
The Akommo team is based in Barcelona, Spain. And today is a very special day for us in Catalonia: World Book Day or as it's called locally "Sant Jordi" (Saint George). On the Catalan Valentine's Day, friends, family members and love partners give each other books & roses. Check out what Barcelona looks like on April 23rd (before covid times...).
Now let's see the crème de la crème social media content this week fresh from the Events industry! DM me or send it to [email protected] if I've missed one.
I'm not on Clubhouse (proud Android user!) so apologies if I don't use the right vocabulary - though I'm seeing a lot of previous app users already shifting away from it. Is it already the end of Clubhouse? If not, which rooms are you following that you'd recommend to our events community?
Is the value you are providing to your audience worth the price you're asking them to pay for?
Kind words some of us might need to read. Don't return to forgetting about your mental health now that things are starting to move.
Deep dive alert. Click on the post to read the full blog. Lots we should get familiar with: the phygital (instead of hybrid), the platform model, ROI & engagement measurement...
A new podcast about the events industry, check it out!
We still have a long road ahead of us to avoid this but it is thanks to people raising their voice like you did that we can level up on diversity & inclusion in & out of our event sector. We should not expect from people to know it all, but we are all able to ask respectfully why to learn from our mistakes.

"People just DON'T show up to the booths."#eventprofs...Have you seen this done well?
Have we not figured this out yet?
Yesterday was Earth Day and as Miguel says, the events industry has a big role to play against climate change. We must move forward and should not go back to our previous mistakes!
#eventprofs, please take note of this guest post by sustainability expert and long-time friend @FionaPelham in advance of #EarthDay2021. I know I want to be part of an event industry that takes climate change seriously. https://t.co/stsrdPHUOq

YES Venues are open for business! This is inspiring!
The power of failure and honesty. As Event planners we are wired to avoid mistakes, errors, failures or anything wrong but sometimes they happen and we learn from them.
Earth Day should be every day so let's use these wise words and put them in action.
