"Just like every MESA Planner Forum I’ve had the pleasure of attending, this session was informative, inspirational, and truly insightful. What continues to stand out is the supportive and friendly atmosphere among the participants - there’s a genuine sense of community that fosters open exchange and shared learning. I always walk away with fresh perspectives and valuable takeaways".

MESA Industry Networking
Thursday 24th July - OUR SUMMER NETWORKING - MESA'S BIGGEST NETWORKING EVENT EVER!
"The Engagement Equation: Before, During, and After the Event" 👉 How to keep attendees engaged at every touchpoint — not just on event day. It was open to all industry colleagues (registrations hit 100 exactly!) and we had fast-paced small group meetings to discuss engagement strategies before, during and after the event, with delegates sharing their tips at the end.
Moderated by Gordon Glenister, Co-Founder of MESA.
