I am really looking forward to this event (and 3 free tickets up for grabs). I came across the essays of Juan Mendoza a year or two ago and I have been an enthusiastic reader ever since. It's well researched and thought-through content on important issues facing our industry. With such rich detail, it would be an insult to call them posts. As an event speaker I will be presenting: "Data Privacy Compliance - Is There a Future for Web Analytics?" What will the audience take away from my topic? ▶ An understanding of the privacy issues at stake in the online ad/marketing industry. ▶ The threat of self-inflicted harm if we continue to follow the current and proposed adtech driven model. ▶ The alternatives available to avoid this cliff edge. ▶ Turn compliance around from a burden to an opportunity to build consumer trust. Please ping me if you will be attending as I would love to meet up.

We have another incredible lineup of speakers this year. Below is the draft agenda for the conference. #PwCEdConf #30YearsofPwCEdConf

Today, we celebrate Global Meeting Industry Day 🌎, recognizing the invaluable contributions of event professionals worldwide. Despite being ranked the third most stressful job in the world (according to a study by the World Scholarship Vault), industry professionals continue to pour their heart and passion into every project. Business events play a crucial role in our economy, with significant impacts on tourism spending and economic growth. 💡 In Canada alone, business events account for 40% of all tourism spending, contributing $47 billion to the economy and supporting 242,000 direct jobs. The average spend per participant, per event, is $901, highlighting the significant economic impact of the meetings industry. As we celebrate GMID, let's take a moment to appreciate the hard work, creativity and dedication of event professionals who make memorable experiences possible, driving economic growth and fostering connections that are more important than ever. #GMID #EventProfs #MeetingIndustry #BusinessEvents #EventPlanning #EconomicImpact Source: Destination Canada; Events Industry Council, Oxford Economics, Global Economic Significance of Business Events, 2023.

Over the years, we have felt that creating impact reports, read only by a few individuals, mostly donors and team members, is really not the best way. Impact shouldn't be broadcasted, but discussed. The broadcast format unfortunately surfers from over-simplification, ineffective in absence of a dialogue. With DAIS, we hope to make "impact" conversation as opposed to a declaration. We want to go beyond using it as a marketing tool, and instead create conversations at homes, workplaces and in different walks of life. We invite you all to join us. This is our very first showcase, and so it is likely that we will be a little clumsy. But a promise we can make is that it will be relevant and engaging, and will use a language and position that matters to all, and not just educators and dev sector organisations. It is in our nature to try new things, experiment with new ways. We have our fingers crossed and are brimming with excitement to see how this goes. Pls RSVP here - https://lnkd.in/g4D7v7HS, and choose one or many sessions to be a part of.

Wow - long time no post! It’s hard to believe that the 2024 NIJ National Research Conference concluded a full week ago. Apologies to all of you out there who were unable to attend (and were undoubtedly experiencing major FOMO 😉) for not posting updates earlier! I have much to share, but need to break the info up into a few separate posts over the next few days else it's too much to digest. In the meantime I’ve shared a sampling of pics in this post to give you a sense of the vibe, and promise more details in the coming days. Because, no exaggeration: This conference had SO much great content - a true embarrassment of riches! With 4 plenaries, 42 panels (including lightning rounds on emerging research topics and new methodologies), a poster session featuring 50 studies - 58% by students - a room full of exhibitors, over 600 attendees (including two dozen students receiving travel scholarships), there was a wealth of information and engagement! I want to thank all of the panelists, poster presenters, exhibitors and attendees for making the conference such a resounding success. And I especially want to lift up NIJ staff for the exceptional job they did in bringing the conference to fruition, in close partnership with SaxmanOne ( A Cape Fox Company ), our conference contractor. So many NIJ staff had essential roles to play in pulling the conference off – from behind-the-scenes logistics, to social media and web advertising, to the planning of the content of panels and plenaries, to onsite leadership and support – and everything in between! They demonstrated tremendous pride in and commitment to NIJ and our work, and were deeply engaged with and welcoming partners to attendees – from presenters and grantees to students and fellow DOJ colleagues. I could go on, but no number of words can express the extent of my pride and gratitude. It’s a true blessing to serve as director of such a fine and impactful institution. More to follow!
