The Phygital Evolution of Industry Events: What’s Next?


Listen Later

The return to in-person events is not a return to business as usual. As trade shows, conferences, and live events thrive, some brands are redefining the event experience, while others risk making events feel outdated.

In this episode, Marco Giberti—a leading expert in live event innovation—returns to Design Nerds Anonymous to revisit his 2021 predictions and share insights on what’s next for events, sponsorships, and engagement strategies.

 

After listening, you will be able to:

  • Rethink events beyond logistics—focusing on why people gather, not just how
  • Leverage AI & data to measure event ROI and engagement
  • Use hybrid and virtual experiences strategically (hint: they’re not dead)
  • Integrate events into a year-long marketing strategy, instead of isolated activations
  • Create meaningful event experiences that resonate with changing audience expectations
