Today, a successful event requires not only star speakers, but also content that will appeal to consumers’ specific problems and pains. In most cases in the digital world, an event’s success is measured by the number of clicks on its website, as well as those on its sponsors, partners, and products. Such statistics are the most vital metrics of all our events, be they online, offline, or hybrid. The company’s biggest projects of the last five years include: GIOF – Global Inclusion Online Forum, GR Forum Global, Davos Energy Week.
