Why Miranda van Bruck, knowledge manager op Meetting Professional International MPI, is attending the GSS
As a knowledge Manager for Meeting Professionals International (MPI), I am responsible for the overall development, design and aggregation of MPI content for use in various delivery channels, to include live events, on-line learning, chapters and others. This includes the speaker selection of various MPI professional development programs, projects, and products worldwide.
I am a liaison to our industry, gathering information and turning that information into valuable and useful knowledge, as well as determining new trends as they develop for creation of new knowledge. I can only be successful in my role when I can utilize my network and keep myself up to date on the latest trends inside, but also especially outside my own industry. Attending the Global Speakers Summit provides me with a great opportunity to connect directly with a large Global community of professional speakers. This is an excellent opportunity to enlarge my network and actively scout for new international speakers and subject matter experts which we can use in our programs, whilst getting up to date with industry trends which are larger than the meetings industry.
At the same time I am thrilled to be able to actively contribute to the summit as well. I am looking forward to be one of the judges for the “S” factor program on the first day of the summit and cannot wait to connect with a group of professional speakers in an open discussion on what Meeting Professionals expect from presenters and especially also what Meeting Professionals could learn from professional speakers. I hope my insights will be valuable for the speaking community and at the same time hope to bring home some very concrete action items for Meeting Professionals which they can use when working with professional speakers.
