08中国会展 CHINA CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION作为会议领域的关键一环,PCO(Profesional Conference Organizer专业会议组织者)的作用十分重要,不仅决定着活动整体策划与价值塑造,也影响着活动的执行力与传播力。从一般性的商业活动看,好的策划会给产品营销带来巨大的推动力;而从政府性办会角度出发,如何起到好的影响,产生高质量的对外合作机会才是重点。因此,出发点不同,对PCO办会的要求也不同。政府型,注重创新高效、专业赋能与影响力。就拿前不久刚刚结束的“中国发展高层论坛2024年年会”为例,其承办方中国发展研究基金会作为国家级重要的涉外会议活动的会议策划单位,通过设立专项秘书处对接全球企业。同时,通过研发新项目,以开展交流合作,共同研究课题等多重方式与会务资源建立粘性合作机制,打破了办大会资源多而不精、广而不专的壁垒,向外界展示出其深厚的专业背景与强大的资源调动能力,将论坛影响力持续做强。社团型,注重资源积累、资源营运与整合营销。疫情后,企业的发展比以往任何时候都更需要商协会来带动,企业会员更需要商协会在行业趋势,国际交流,技术输出,市场推广,产品营销。行业协会会议及活动是产业发展的孵化器。随着新质生产力的产生,跨界合作的成功,新的国际和国内商协会不断出现,使国际国内商协会会议活动越来越多。因此,作为该领域的PCO要满足时代的要求,政府的要求与企业会员的要求。对于服务社团的会议公司来说,仅仅依靠单一的模式或者是传统的办会的方式,已经无法满足中国商协会的发展需求。商协会跨界合作与资源整合成为帮助会员企业拓展运营领域、提升服务效能的关键策略。服务社团的会议公司需要成为商协会的一部分,在经济发展不断变化和不稳定的环境中,真正了解商协会不断变化的需求,才能够为他们设计出商协会需要的会议活动,达到商协会跨界合作与资源整合的关键目标。因此,要做好注重资源积累,资源整合,为社团内的企业在国际化经营方面提供支持和保障。企业型,注重技术应用、商业感知与价值优势。当前,受技术变革带来的深度影响,传统PCO的营运方式已开始逐步向数字化方向转型。由此出现了一个新的企业运营生态DCO(Digital conference organizer数字化会议组织者),其核心价值——数据赋能会议活动的能力。当前,会议领域需要适应参会人双线参会的场景并提升双线参会体验,双线参会者需要全新的体验和服务,作为DCO需要确保在线体验与线下体验保持一致性的融合体验。双线体验不仅场景更丰富,而且数据维度更丰富,画像更丰满,智能匹配更精准,效率更高,赞助商权益更合理,还能给赞助商提供有据可查的数据报告作为衡量参会的ROI。Core-PCO通过DBMS观众数据管理系统来存储、处理双线会展的数据,赋能来年的会议营销、招商推广。在当前会议市场,PCO的角色越来越重要。新的市场机遇需要PCO不断开拓边界,完善自己的每一面。总编辑:卷首语◎EDITOR’S LETTER关注PCO的每一面文/兰宇鑫 责任编辑/裴超*****************2024年3月30日/第06期/总第558期09As a key link in the conference fi eld, the role of PCO (Professional Conference Organizer) is very important, which not only determines the overall planning and value shaping of the event, but also infl uences the execution and dissemination of the event.From the perspective of general business activities, good planning will bring great impetus to product marketing; while from the perspective of governmental conference organizers, how to play a good impact and resulting in high-quality external cooperation opportunities are the focus. Therefore, with different starting points, the requirements for PCO to organize meetings are also ernmental conferences focus on innovation and effi ciency, professional empowerment and infl uence. Take the recently concluded "China Development Forum 2024 Annual Meeting" as an example, its organizer, the China Development Research Foundation, as a national important foreign-related conference planning unit, set up a special secretariat to connect with global enterprises. At the same time, through the research and development of new projects, they carried out exchanges and cooperation, joint research topics and other multiple ways to establish a sticky cooperation mechanism with the conference resources, and broke the barriers of running the conference resources on quantity rather than quality, wide but not specialized, showed its deep professional background and strong resource mobilization capacity to the outside world, which enhanced the forum infl uence.Association conferences focus on resource accumulation, resource operation and integrated marketing. After the epidemic, the development of enterprises more than ever need to be driven by business associations, business members need more business associations in the industry trends, international exchanges, technology output, marketing, product marketing. Trade association meetings and activities are incubators for industrial development. With the generation of new quality productivity and the success of cross-border cooperation, new international and domestic business associations continue to emerge, resulting in more and more international and domestic business association meetings and activities. Therefore, as a PCO in this fi eld, it is facing the requirements of the times, the requirements of the government and the requirements of the corporate members.For conference companies serving associations, relying only on a single model or the traditional way of organizing conferences can no longer meet the development needs of Chinese business associations. Cross-border cooperation and resource integration of business associations have become the key strategies to help member companies expand their operation fi elds and improve their service effi ciency. Conference companies serving associations need to become part of the business associations, and in the ever-changing and unstable environment of economic development, truly understand the changing needs of business associations, so that they can design the conference activities they need, and achieve the key goal of cross-border cooperation and resource integration of business associations. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of focusing on the accumulation of resources and resource integration to provide support and guarantee for enterprises within the associations in international business.Enterprise conferences focus on technology application, business perception and value advantage. Currently, by the deep impact brought by technological change, the traditional PCO's operation mode has begun to gradually transform to the digital direction. As a result, a new enterprise operation ecology DCO (Digital conference organizer) has emerged. Its core value is the ability of data-enabled conference activities.Currently, the conference fi eld needs to adapt to the scenarios of dual-line attendees and enhance the dual-line attendee experience. As dual-line attendees need a new experience and services, the DCO needs to ensure that the online experience and offl ine experience to maintain the consistency of the integration of experience. Dual-line experience is not only richer in scene, but also richer in data dimension, fuller in portrait, more accurate in intelligent matching, higher in effi ciency, more reasonable in sponsor's rights and interests, but also can provide sponsors with evidence-based data report as a measure of ROI of the conference.Core-PCO stores and processes data of dual-line exhibition through DBMS audience data management system, which empowers conference marketing and investment promotion in the coming year.In the current conference market, the role of PCO is becoming more and more important. New market opportunities require PCO to keep exploring boundaries and perfecting every aspect of itself. Author /Alan Editor /**********************
