The Trends That Will Transform Events in 2026.
New expectations of audiences, brands, destinations, and organizers point to a clear direction. Future events will embrace fundamental pillars that will influence formats, concepts, and creative choices.
Emotional and Multisensory Experiences

Rituality and Personalization
