When Maarten Vanneste published the book ‘Meeting Architecture’ last year, it was sold out in a few months and is now in its third re-print. Meetings and events industry opinion leaders worldwide read the book and 40 of them, from 18 different countries, got together with Vanneste and wrote the ‘Meeting Architecture Manifesto’, their joint statement of the need to change the way we plan the content and format of meetings and events, creating more value to stakeholders. You may download the Manifesto from http://www.eventroi.org/themeetingarchitecturemanifesto.pdf
