Be honest, when you see MICE celebs posting about their fantastic work trips in exotic locations, do you wish you could be there, too? Maybe even when you ARE there? If you experience both a fear of missing out (FOMO) and a deep drive to keep up and be increasingly connected, there’s help for you!

First, the truth: we literally can’t be everywhere at once, and that’s a good thing, for our bodies and for our minds. Digitally, we can be many places at the same time, however, and that’s also a good thing if it’s managed properly, for climate-change mitigation as much as for your networking and information-gathering goals.

Next: the wisdom! We love this changemaker checklist from Anna Look to help you with both opportunities. Yep, opportunities, and she’ll show you how, too! It first appeared in a recent edition of the Look Ahead Consulting newsletter which you can sign up for here.

4 Tips for Keeping Up with Business Events (Digitally)

by Anna Look

“1. Follow your favourite speakers.

Speakers at industry events will promote where and when they will be speaking. If you’ve not rung their bell on LinkedIn, now is the time.”

“2. Watch the highlights.

Everyone wants to get the most out of their speaking gigs. Follow closely, and highlight reels will reveal keynote gold.”

“3. Take note of the note-takers.

I have a list of brilliant, regular event attendees who always share their top takeaways in great detail. Here are a couple of my favourite sources for fresh insights: Virigine De Visscher and Rachael Molyneux.”

“My top tip for even more value is to

take a look at the event producers’ website. They have probably posted a ton of their best moments in video format for your enjoyment.

Happy following!”
