IELA’s recovery programme IELA Reload was a real Incubator of ideas for the future, spreading the fighting spirit to empower IELA members to succeed in the New Now, anticipating & rebounding by limiting losses and boosting strengths in profitable service areas. Launched on May 4th 2020, the programme had four pillars: E-Learning sessions – Regional IELA Talks – Recovery Talks and Rediscover of Tools.
The IELA Talks focused firstly on the situation of members by region, moving
then to the next step of the comprehensive global industry approach by
addressing the most important current topic: Winning Confidence
Back. IELA invited key industry partners to
join, participate and exchange on their experience and possible solutions strategies. IELA held these
regional talks to reinforce the connection between stakeholders of the industry
and its partners. By giving a voice to all concerned, considerable local
awareness can be boosted to identify viable solutions during this critical
time. The general outcome:
-
Communication between Venues, Organisers and Logistics Suppliers is
paramount for safe & secure shows.
-
Collaboration is the major tool in combatting Covid-19.
-
A united front is imperative in order to bring the industry out stronger
than ever from this crisis.
The
ten Recovery Talks highlighted
particular content to support the IELA membership in implementing successful
and effective business measures in order to navigate through the shutdown and
rebound periods. The goal of IELA was not only to overcome this global health
and economic crisis as a unified association, but to emerge from the experience even stronger than before and with greater
solidarity from both an individual perspective as well as with regard to its network.
Sandi
Trotter, TWI Group Inc. (Canada), Canada, IELA Reload Global Brainstorming
Captain, resumed “The IELA Reload
programme provides us with energy and positivity and promotes us all to take
whatever action we can in these times.
Providing education, information sharing and support. There is no definitive recipe for this
unprecedented situation, but together we are working to make a difference and
come back stronger.”
Our
industry is fully prepared and ready for September. Trade shows are safe places and act as motors to boost economic
recovery. Very important is that trade shows have been officially
differentiated from general mass events and mass gatherings. It is now clear
that exhibitions are controllable happenings overseen by responsible professionals.
With strict sanitary protocols in place and all partners collaborating closer
than ever before, the restart is now dependent on developments with travel bans
and the pandemic evolution in the next weeks/months.
With
the goal in mind of emerging from this
experience even stronger than before and with greater solidarity from both
an individual perspective as well as with regard to its network, IELA will
continue to accompany its members closely and reinforce its IELA Reload
programme. Each member has their own strengths and market characteristics and
is responsible for adapting and extending their strategic approach to find a
tailor-made business solution according to their needs. Keeping updated and
exchanging information on a regular basis will be key in the decision-making
process. IELA Reload Brainstorming sessions and discussions, together with
extensive research information being made available, will support members in tackling the next stages in the economic
rebound which is approaching and maybe just around the corner.
Based
on the impressive level of positive feedback from the entire industry and the
fact that 99% of the members who participated in the first edition of IELA Reload
requested to continue with this invigorating members-only benefit tool, IELA
will therefore return with a second edition of the programme after the holiday
season. As an association, IELA looks
forward to witnessing once again the dynamism and adaptability of its members
who have proven that working as a united
force can act as a tool to help overcome tough situations by encouraging a
solution-oriented environment.

In the event world, it’s simply part of life if things don’t work out as planned.
Networking typically happens at real, in-person events. But it’s also possible to do it online; it just works a little differently. There are various options available to organisers.
New products and a well-conceived stand design are not the only drivers for a successful presence. Many other factors are also important, but trade fair planners often lose sight of them.
Trade fairs and trade fair companies need to constantly further develop, become more agile and flexible and offer services all year round. New, digital offerings are very important here. With its TrustedTargeting technology, Messe München offers its customers access to leading business-to-business decision-makers on the Internet.
