Earlier this year, Skift released its annual trend forecast, Megatrends 2025 which took a look at where the travel industry will be five years from now. As part of this project, we spoke with Abu Dhabi Convention and Exhibition Bureau to learn how the destination was rethinking its offering for the world of events in 2021.
During this session, we deep dive into how Abu Dhabi is experimenting with new tools and solutions to empower event planners to strategically adapt during these times and work to create the conditions needed for success in the next five years. Skift and Abu Dhabi Convention and Exhibition Bureau are joined by Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and Marriott for a lively discussion.
