    Interview: Leading Events Under Pressure: How to Navigate Risk, Complexity, and Uncertainty with Deborah Caldwell

    In this Interview, CEMA Summit speaker Deborah Caldwell shares hard-earned lessons from navigating some of the most challenging moments in the industry—from the collapse of Lehman Brothers to large-scale disruptions like typhoons and global uncertainty. We explore how event leaders can plan for the unexpected, stay calm under pressure, and make clear decisions when it matters most. Deborah also dives into the realities of operating across Asia Pacific, the balance between governance and creativity, and why communication is one of the most critical—yet underestimated—leadership skills in events.  Links: Register for CEMA Summit: https://cemaonline.com/cema-summit/ Follow Convene: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/pcma-convene/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pcmaconvene/  YouTube: https://youtube.com/@pcmaconvene  Medium: https://medium.com/@convenemagazine  X: https://x.com/pcmaconvene   Contact Information: For any questions, reach out to Magdalina Atanassova, matanassova(at)pcma(dot)org.

    Interview: Beyond Bigger Events: Dan Preiss on Smarter Event Design, Audience Engagement, and Measurable Impact

    In this Interview, CEMA Summit speaker Dan Preiss shares how leading organizations are rethinking event strategy—from aligning every decision to a clear “North Star” to cutting through the noise of overcomplicated measurement. We explore the challenge of fragmented attention, the rise of hyper-personalization through AI, and why the future of events isn’t bigger, but more intentional. Dan also unpacks what’s still hard to measure—like trust and relationship depth—and why human connection will only become more valuable as digital content explodes.  Links: Register for CEMA Summit: https://cemaonline.com/cema-summit/Follow Convene: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/pcma-convene/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pcmaconvene/  YouTube: https://youtube.com/@pcmaconvene  Medium: https://medium.com/@convenemagazine  X: https://x.com/pcmaconvene   Contact Information: For any questions, reach out to Magdalina Atanassova, matanassova(at)pcma(dot)org.

    Interview: Breaking the Invisible Prison: How Event Leaders Can Make Better Decisions Under Pressure with Rashmi Airan

    In this Interview, Business Events Summit keynote speaker, author, and leadership expert Rashmi Airan unpacks the concept of the “invisible prison” and the four forces that quietly shape—and sometimes sabotage—our decision-making. Drawing from her deeply personal story and years of research, Rashmi introduces practical frameworks like the Clarity Loop and the RISE framework to help event professionals pause, lead with integrity, and make choices they can stand behind. This conversation is a must-listen for leaders navigating uncertainty, managing teams under pressure, and striving to build cultures rooted in trust, courage, and accountability.  Links: Rashmi Airan’s All Rise Book: https://rashmiairan.com/book/From Prison to Purpose: https://www.pcma.org/from-prison-to-purpose/Rise Through It: https://rashmiairan.com/speaking/rise-through-itRise to Clarity: https://rashmiairan.com/speaking/rise-to-clarityRegister for Business Events Summit: https://businesseventssummit.org/Follow Convene: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/pcma-convene/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pcmaconvene/  YouTube: https://youtube.com/@pcmaconvene  Medium: https://medium.com/@convenemagazine  X: https://x.com/pcmaconvene   Contact Information: For any questions, reach out to Magdalina Atanassova, matanassova(at)pcma(dot)org.
