The IMEX Group has released a new report titled How to Lead with Impact in Extreme Times, offering practical leadership insights drawn from eight senior figures across the international business events sector. The publication is part of IMEX’s 2025 Talking Point series and is now available as a free download.

Leadership approaches shaped by real-world experience

The report highlights how leaders from associations, corporations and global networks have responded to volatility, uncertainty and industry-wide transformation—not with rigid control, but through intentionality, service and resilience. Each section presents a concise leadership insight, complemented by quote-driven commentary and a mobile-optimized design for accessibility.

Featured contributors include CEOs, changemakers and association leaders, who share how they maintained presence under pressure, built trust in times of ambiguity, and redefined leadership beyond status or hierarchy. Topics include: “Leadership is service, not status,” and “From control to clarity.”
