the definitionMeeting Architecture is the discipline that focuses on the content side of meetings and conferences: al meeting objectives in the Learning, networking and motivation of participants. The Identification of objectives, the meeting design (formats, conceptual and practical building blocks), the execution of the conference and eventually the assessment of results (evaluation and measuring of meeting results up to level 5 ROI). Like an architect that helps the house owner to build a house, a meeting architect helps the meeting owner (who is never a professional in meetings) to build a meeting in four (IDEA) phases:

||||||||
May 28th 2009, Frankfurt, Germany. In Frankfurt the first support is gathered from some of the largest Industry Associations. During a round table meeting many positive comments were heard and the potential of collaboration was mentioned. |
||||||||
May 4th, 2009 The Paper is finalized and available for all. Its final tile is 'The Meeting Architecture Manifesto.' Thanks to the editor Elling Hamso and the many contributors this document is now the basis for a project that will lead to more tangible outcome and support by the industry organizations: 'meeting Architecture 2011' (The name changed from 2020 to 2011 so we can focus on the short term task of creating educational components for future educational programs in collaboration with the industry organizations.) A twelve page document is available for all that are interested and it may be published. The web sitewww.meetingarchitecture.org is started and will focus on the Project MA2011. |

November 18-19 2008 COPENHAGEN, Denmark. The first of two Meeting Architecture 2020™ conclaves took place in Copenhagen. The support from Ole Sorang and Rezidor were instrumental. Elling Hamso did a great job in facilitation. The 18 industry top people invested 2 days of their time and generated a wealth of ideas and topics. These were discussed in small groups and feedback to the whole group was regularly given. The dinner had some additional guests including the organizers of the upcoming UN Climate conference. On day two the group addressed the strategy and tactics for a whole range of issues we consider essential to the success. We need to recognize the tremendous support form Rezidor for fully hosting this event including the dinner and the MPI chapter meeting. Pictures: see Meeting Architecture Facebook Group. |

EVENTS REVIEW: Elling Hamso from the European ROI Institute wrote: "Having explained in this well written and easy flowing book the need for the meeting architect, a manifesto for a new profession as he calls it, Vanneste passes the challenge on to associations, corporations and universities to further define the role and body of knowledge of the meeting architect and to develop the curriculum for the university degrees required to make it a professional reality. After reading the book I have no doubt, there is only one way forward. " read more |
