The Power of Live in a Five-Year High of Optimism! Optimism for 2026 is at a five-year high - and the momentum is unmistakable. According to Amex GBT Meetings & Events, 85% of meeting and events professionals are optimistic or very optimistic about 2026. What does that mean for ROI? It means companies are ready to invest - live events regain their seat at the table as strategic tools, not just tactical gatherings. At Emerald, we’re seeing the same trend across our platform: ➡️Brands are investing in deeper, more intentional in-person moments. ➡️ Attendees are prioritizing experiences that feel meaningful and human. ➡️ Live events remain the most trusted way to build relationships and spark growth. The future is bright and live. Check out the full forecast for more insights into the industry in 2026: https://lnkd.in/eNiUUrbb #LiveEvents #EventMarketing #Emerald #PowerOfConnection

The Missed Multiplier Effect of Live Events... 96% of B2B marketers say in-person events are their most effective channel for driving direct sales, yet most still treat them as one-off moments. The new Easy to Find report from LinkedIn's The B2B Institute and the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute calls this the “missed multiplier effect.” When a single event becomes 52 weeks of content - keynotes, demos, and conversations repurposed and amplified - it  stops being a cost center and becomes a growth engine. Done well, that sustained visibility even creates FOMO – fueling anticipation, and registrations for future events. At Emerald, we see this every day. Live experiences fuel awareness, trust, and a year-round content flywheel that drives measurable impact long after the show floor closes. It’s time to stop measuring events by the moment, and start measuring them by their multiplier. https://lnkd.in/exXpeBBR #B2BMarketing #Emerald #LiveEvents #EventROI #InPersonConnection #EmeraldExperience
