12:45 pm: And that’s a wrap on another amazing PCMA Convening Leaders! We had such an incredible time seeing everyone and sharing upcoming trends for 2020. Can’t wait to do it all again next year in Houston!
10:15 am: Can’t stay long enough for a massage? Be sure to stop by our Inspiration Cafe for some relaxation on-the-go! After a long week of sessions and networking, our face masks are a quick way to unwind.
9:30 am: It doesn’t take a full reinvention to make your space meaningful, authentic, and innovative – especially if dollars are tight. With activations in interstitial spaces – the spaces between major displays and rooms – you can maximize attendee engagement and even revenue with opportunities for sponsorships. Get creative and create spaces within your space to encourage conversations between attendees.

10:00 pm: What a way to end our time in San Francisco! Maroon 5 really closed the night out in style, playing all the hits while we got the chance to network with the planners that make our industry possible.
2:00 pm: PSAV’s Brent Rogers is giving us all the tips to keep sessions up-to-date for Millennials and Gen Z. To avoid death by PowerPoint, make the content for your educational sessions engaging for all generations by using a captivating design, keeping copy to a minimum, and incorporate visuals, video, and multimedia. For an even more open discussion, think about opportunities to get content out prior to the event for feedback for a pre-show Q&A. On the show floor, design the space so that speakers are on the same level as the audience – utilizing smart lighting – to allow the presenter to get out on the floor for a less formal feel.
11:30 am: When technology is adopted with a purpose, the possibilities for your event to shine are endless. Garner excitement with social media and retargeting before your event, keep attendees engaged in an immersive experience with mobile apps and second screen, and use audience analytics to improve your show for next year. #PCMACLTip
9:30 am: Day two of PCMACL – who’s ready? Our cafe is open and we’re ready for you to come over in between your sessions!
Monday, January 6, 2020
4:30 pm: Day one of PCMACL is officially in the books at our Inspiration Cafe! We’ll see you bright and early tomorrow morning for another day filled with things to do and learn.
4:00 pm: Influencer marketing combines the rapid fire, word-of-mouth authenticity that millennials love and the tried and true spokesperson method of traditional marketing. In our industry, developing niche target audiences coupled with influencers that can tell them a resonating story are key components in a successful influencer marketing strategy. Thanks, Susan Sweeney, for an eye-opening session!
2:35 pm: How do you master the content of your event? Felix Rundel and Sami Benchekroun taught us how to avoid analysis paralysis with the right mix of show, audience, social, and content. For your next conference, consider posting content and enabling live recommendations during the show. Not only will you boost traffic and engage attendees on the show floor, but the time you normally spend on content can be allocated to creating a game-changing experience.
12:00 pm: Year after year, our favorite activity during PCMACL is assembling creativity kits. In partnership with the San Francisco Unified School District, help us make a positive impact and encourage creativity in future generations by creating a kit of your own at our Inspiration Cafe! You can even write your own personalized message, like this attendee here:
10:55 am: It’s never too early for some rest and relaxation. We think this attendee has the right idea getting in a chair massage sooner rather than later!
10:15 am: An attendee diving into our World of Production – an interactive, touch screen experience showing how PSAV and our family of companies bring events to life around the world. With your vision and our unparalleled services, this is one display you’ll have to see to believe.
8:45 am: Good morning, San Fran! We’re kicking off day one of PCMACL enjoying a hot cup of coffee at our Inspiration Café, opening in 15 minutes. Swing by and join us!
