“Leveraging Disruptive Technology to Enhance Your Events” will take place on 28 November 2018 at Fira Barcelona Gran Via in Barcelona as part of IBTM World. James Morgan from Event Tech Lab will take attendees through the latest event technologies available and get them thinking about technologies best suited for their business goals and ambitions.

Luca Favetta, PCMA Regional Business Director, EMEA, said: “We invite meeting and event professionals to join PCMA in London and Barcelona for two topical sessions aimed to bring immediate value to their business, and be inspired by our presenting experts and participating peers alike. With these two sessions, we’ll conclude our series of events in Europe, however, we’re already working to deliver an exciting 2019 education programme inspired by industry professionals from Europe, for Europe.”
