✂️ Convene segments brands and converts specific locations

EventIndustryNews reports that Convene are segmenting the brands to make the distinction clearer between their offerings. As part of this move 4 etc.venues locations are being converted to Convene locations.

Market positioning, especially within multibrand networks, are a big focus this year. This will create ripples for all operators as competition for keywords and budgets get diluted across offerings.

🔮 Five predictions for 2024 from Convene’s CEO

Ryan Simonetti shares their 5 top predictions for 2024. In short: employees becoming members; buildings becoming brands; places swapped for networks; dictated office is out and choice is in; and fewer, bigger, "better" in-person events.

P.S. Someone really should log all of these predictions somewhere, say in a digital industry-specific newsletter, so we could, for example compare them to previous year’s predictions. Aaaand… Done.
