“When Rave Cinemas doubled in size due to an acquisition, I was very fortunate to be able to hire my colleague Danny to help bring order to an avalanche of marketing initiatives. He was instrumental in the re-branding process, public relations, social media platforms, managing staff, liaison with ad agencies and media vendors. Danny led efforts to market 18 IMAX openings in a six month period, while simultaneously rolling out a number of private label programs. All of the above always with a joke, smile and steady hand underscore my belief in him as an incredible asset to any organization.”

Live events are changing and not just becoming more innovative, but more sustainable. From stadiums to festivals, venue operators are under pressure to reduce waste, lower carbon impact, and streamline operations. But the truth is: meaningful sustainability doesn’t start with recycling bins… it starts with better systems. At Wicket, we’re seeing first-hand how frictionless access, digital identity, and efficient event operations can significantly reduce environmental impact: - Eliminating disposable wristbands & plastic passes - Cutting down paper ticketing and manual check-in - Reducing queue congestion (and the staffing + energy demands that come with it) - Creating smoother, cleaner, more predictable event flows - Minimising unnecessary hardware and operational waste When events run efficiently, they run greener. And when you layer in privacy-first biometric technology, the experience becomes both sustainable and sensational for fans. We’ve shared insights on why the industry is shifting and what major venues are doing right now to make live events smarter, faster, and more eco-conscious. Smarter access = better operations = more sustainable events. This is the future of live events.

No matter which side of the RFP (Request for Proposal) process you find yourself on—submitting or reviewing—chances are, you've encountered your fair share of them. Some are thoughtfully crafted and clear; others, not so much. That’s why, in my latest Mercuro Event Industry Interview, titled “Crafting an Effective RFP with Candy Adams,” I turned to my longtime friend and trade show veteran Candy Adams—better known in the industry as The Booth Mom®—for expert insight. In this candid Q&A, Candy shares what sets a standout RFP apart, where exhibitors commonly go off track, and how to ensure your next request attracts the right partner instead of a mountain of generic responses. Whether you're refining a seasoned exhibit program or drafting your very first RFP, Candy’s advice is essential reading for anyone looking to streamline the process and improve results.

Great interview with Aleksander Batorski for KONGRES MAGAZINE. A timely reminder for our industry: focus on relationships, not just numbers. Technology helps, metrics matter—but long-term value in events and meetings is still created through trust, meaningful conversations, and human connection. This is exactly why live events remain so powerful. Because relationships scale better than spreadsheets. Read the full interview: https://lnkd.in/dQQxHzv4 Thanks for the insight, Aleksander. #events #MICE #relationships #networking #leadership #Conventa #lublin #poland

HR News: Zee Entertainment Clarifies That Recent Exits Are Part of Previously Announced Workforce Plan - https://lnkd.in/g3MTCUgt Zee Entertainment Enterprises has clarified that the employee exits reported recently are not part of a new round of layoffs. In a filing to the stock exchanges, the company stated that the departures fall under the workforce rationalisation plan announced in April 2024 as part of its long-term restructuring strategy. The initiative aims to create a more agile, collaborative and cost-efficient organisation. Reports this week suggested that around 200 employees had left the company. Zee said these exits were already accounted for within the previously communicated plan to reduce its workforce by 15 per cent. The company further noted that a sizeable number of those who exited were consultants rather than full-time staff. According to Zee, the changes form one phase of a multi-stage optimisation effort aligned with its omni-channel business model and broader operational transformation. The restructuring roadmap was presented to the board by Punit Goenka, former MD and CEO, shortly after the collapse of the proposed merger with Sony. At that time, the company outlined plans to streamline its organisational structure and reduce total headcount to about 700. Details of this plan were shared publicly in the April 2024 press release titled “ZEE’s MD & CEO proposes lean organisation structure to the Board”. The update comes as Zee continues to face financial challenges. In Q2 FY26, the company reported a 63 per cent decline in consolidated net profit, falling to ₹76.5 crore from ₹209 crore in the same quarter last year. Although the festive season has provided some lift, overall advertising demand remains subdued. Zee stated that ongoing consolidation of business units and role rationalisation is intended to improve long-term efficiency while minimising operational disruption. HR Talk
