As usual the SCIB also invites a keynote speaker and this year we look forward to hearing from Geneviève Leclerc.

She works as a content curator, facilitator, speaker and trainer with the association meetings and business tourism industry and is specialized in sustainability and social impact practices.

Keynote speaker: Geneviève Leclerc
Our key-note speaker for the evening Geneviève Leclerc. She has founded her current organization, #MEET4IMPACT, in 2019 with the vision of transforming the business tourism industry by generating a movement to create positive societal impact with its actors and their events. #MEET4IMPACT trains professionals and supports DMOs and their association clients in defining, managing, measuring and communicating the societal impacts of their activities.
She will explain the key concepts and explore how destinations and associations can collaborate through a structured methodology to deliver maximum positive impact through meetings. She will unpack the essential elements of measuring these legacies and provide insights on how organisations can get started in this journey. She will also illustrate the use of her methodology in a few Swiss case studies of collaborative models between DMO and associations developing and implementing event impact
