IELA RELOAD 2.0 Kicks-off with the Online IELA Operations Summit 2020

9/14/2020
Strengthened by the success of IELA RELOAD from May to July 2020, the International Exhibition Logistics Association (IELA) is now proud to present IELA RELOAD 2.0. This is the second part of its recovery programme which will run throughout the final quarter of 2020. Proven to be a real INCUBATOR for ideas for the future, IELA RELOAD 2.0 will continue to spread the fighting spirit to empower IELA MEMBERS to succeed in the New Now, anticipating & rebounding by limiting losses and boosting strengths in profitable service areas.

The programme is based on 3 pillars:

ONLINE 2020 IELA OPERATIONS SUMMIT - offering IELA Members live training sessions and small group discussions around Digitalisation of our Workplace and Rethinking Best Practice: The Impact of Covid-19 on Operations
IELA TALKS - online live sessions, focusing on collaboration with industry partner suppliers for the NEW NORMAL in the NEW ERA and stressing on Winning Exhibitor Confidence Back.
RECOVERY FILES - a selected content pool to boost resilience and readiness to face the New Now.

The Exhibition and Event Industry is one of the strongest communities in the world. It has demonstrated over the past months that collaboration and anticipation are the key words for the return of exhibitions.

With the recovery chronicle post covid-19 starting now in Europe, IELA kicks-off IELA RELOAD 2.0 with the online IELA 2020 Operations Summit. This 3-week online training and networking programme, organised by the IELA Education & Training Programme Working Group, will provide all IELA Member operational staff with key updated information regarding workplace digitalisation and regulations in the NEW ERA of the event & exhibition logistics industry.

Each live online session will be followed by breakout sessions (100 participants by teams of 5 people, a total of 20 simultaneous sessions) accompanied by a dedicated group mentor. The participants will be divided into groups of five participants and will focus two weeks long on Rethinking Best Practice: The impact of COVID-19 on Operations, engaging selectively with a problem-solving objective approach. The topic Rethinking will feature as the evaluation topic this year.

All attendees actively joining the sessions and group brainstorms will be rewarded with a certificate of attendance. The group with the most innovative outcome will be honoured with free of charge registration at the IELA Congress 2021.

In his address to all Members, Guido Fornelli, IELA 2020-2022 Chairman stated:

I am very sorry not to be able to welcome you in person but at least this situation has allowed us to increase the number of participants in the IELA Operations Summit so not all evil comes to harm!

Our industry is sailing in troubled water, we are one of the most affected markets by the crisis, caused by the COVID emergency and this is why this year’s summit is even more important.

Entering in the NEW NOW, on-site operations will become key. Our approach and our operation management will be indeed vital to restore confidence in our customers so that they will came back to the fairgrounds unafraid and safe.

To do so we will need to look into many new solutions supported by technology, in synchronicity with our partners, looking for an increased modularity of projects in order to offer even more efficiency.

Taking all this into consideration, let’s enjoy our summit, get inspired by the speeches of our guest speakers and develop our teamwork.

Let each of us become a DRIVER OF CHANGE!
