The Criteria...what makes a technology "emergent"?
The review committee for this program consists of MPI members with a passion for meetings technology. Each company’s request to participate is carefully reviewed and selection is based on three basic criteria:
The new product or service has been developed, launched or significantly re-invented in the last 12 months (thus “emergent”).
The product or service already does or has the potential to, in the near future, directly affect the meetings and events industry.
The product or service has a hands-on aspect that attendees can interact with during this session.”
