I developed strategies, planned, and executed over a hundred major business events, including Innovation Forums, Investment Forums, Boat Shows, Career Days, Millionaire Fairs, Trade Shows, Conventions, and Conferences. I firmly believe that organizing events remains the most effective way to promote new projects and attract partners and collaborators. My events were characterized by close collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, including governments, industries, and
international organizations. I was honored to receive the Best National Business Event Award.
I also developed and supervised several events-related educational programs and institutions, including the Innovation Management Academy and the Business Event Management School, which featured extensive coursework on event planning and management. Additionally, I conducted several research projects on event management and event experience, published numerous academic papers in leading international journals, authored the book Event Experience, and delivered industry
presentations on event management topics at IMEX, World Educational Congress, Expo! Expo!, GMID, and various conferences and meetings in over 20 countries.
Currently, I serve as the Chair of the Research Advisory Board of Meeting Professionals International (MPI), the largest event planners’ association in the world. In this role, I lead efforts to advance research initiatives by developing and implementing innovative projects, events, and strategies to address industry needs and enhance event effectiveness.
