We are very pleased to welcome Mrs Sandy Ingram as part of our team. She received her degree in Computer Engineering from the Lebanese American University, and earned the president award for having graduated with the highest cumulative GPA.
She developed along with other colleagues from REACT, two websites (namely eLogbook and Graasp ) dedicated to resource sharing, collaborative work and personal learning. Sandy has worked on several European projects and networks of excellence including PALETTE, ROLE, and STELLAR. She also managed the Jumpers CTI project aimed at developing a recommender system for online job hunting. At Klewel, Sandy will be involved in both Triskel platform development, and research projects: inEvent and Aroles.
Singing and biking are her favorite activities; the best is when she combines both in family biking trips, though, as she tells, this combination is not always fun for other bikers !
This talk is of interest to all the convention bureaux in the world as well as everyone involved with city planning in a way or another. It was recorded a couple of weeks ago at the ICCA 2012 Congress in Puerto Rico.
Play Now: ICCA 2012 Denmark Copenhagen lecture by Jan Sturesson
We’ve all grown up in a world of inter-country competition and national identity. The Olympics and World Cup, economic league tables, the UN and World Bank: all of our leading institutions are built on the nation state. The way we look at and analyse the world has been through a national viewpoint. But this is deceptive: today geography is dramatically more complicated: New York has become closer in many ways to London and Shanghai than it is to Brooklyn; Amsterdam has fewer than 50% Dutch inhabitants; China is undertaking the most gigantic-ever urbanisation project, involving literally hundreds of millions of people.
The City is fast becoming the key competitive unit in every important economic and society-wide dimension, and this is why this year’s Copenhagen-Denmark Lecturer is Jan Sturesson. Over the last decade he has become a world-leading authority on this phenomenon: leading multinational research teams, advising governments and mayors, writing hard-hitting reports, and changing perceptions all around the world.
Learn about how concepts such as “issues-based industrial clustering” are being used to build competitive advantage. Understand what it takes for cities to build a strategic brand, and the internal and external challenges that need to be overcome. Consider the mega-trends that successful cities, large and small, will need to adapt to. Think about the new relationships that are likely to emerge between cities and national governments. This is a session that will forever change the framework through which you view the world.
Cet événement s’est déroulé dans le bâtiment qui héberge les locaux de Klewel au Centre du Parc, plus exactement dans la salle de congrès de l’hôtel Mercure. C’était le 21 Septembre dernier sur le thème “Oser Entreprendre” avec M. Yves Rossy comme invité d’honneur. À la manière de Bertrand Piccard ou Jean Troillet, c’est un pionnier dans son domaine. Il a donné une conférence dont les messages clés sont synthétisés dans ce clip:
Les messages clés de Yves Rossy sur la thématique de se lancer dans une aventure entrepreneuriale:
* Oser entreprendre, c’est l’envie, la passion.
* Partager ses problèmes avec les autres, des ingénieurs comme Monsieur tout le monde peut aider à avancer
* Le fait d’avoir une vision complètement extérieure à un domaine peut amener à des solutions innovantes
* Au départ, j’étais mon propre sponsor en tant que commandant de bord
* Pour passer l’échelon supérieur, je cherchais des sponsors, ça prend du temps et ça demande du bon matériel médiatique
* On me demande “vous n’avez jamais eu peur?” Pendant je n’ai jamais eu peur mais après oui, et j’ai dû faire une pause
* La flamme revient car c’est telment bon quand ça marche qu’on y retourne
* À la suite d’un interview et de bonnes images et vidéos, du jour au lendemain, j’ai eu 50’000 impacts sur mon site pas jour
* Intérêt médiatique conséquent d’où, enfin, intérêt des sponsors parce qu’ils viennent que quand ça marche
* Quand on pense qu’on est le meilleur, le grand au dessus est tout de suite là pour nous remettre en place
* Je suis toujours là et le fait de dire non dans certaines entreprises où ça commence à puer, il ne faut pas y aller
* À la base, je suis un employé, je suis pilote, et je trouve extrèmement compliqué au niveau de tout ce qu’il faut savoir, c’est un job à 100% de savoir quelles sont les responsabilités d’un entrepreneur au niveau administratif (impôts, assurances sociales…). Au départ c’était de la natation pour s’y retrouver au niveau administratif
* Voilà je suis content d’avoir oser, il y a eu des risques mais ce sont des expériences extraordinaires à vivre et belles à partager, j’espère que ça vous fait envie.

For those who don’t know ICCA, it gathers more than 1000 members world wide, so this is a big association in the galaxy of meetings industry (together with MPI, IMEX tradeshow, EIBTM tradeshow, IAPCO, MSI, etc). The role of the ICCA congress is for members to learn, network and make new friends. A big association and a big congress with around 6 parallel sessions at each education set of the programme.
Salsa party at ICCA Congress 2012 Gala dinner, “Let’s get serious about having fun”
I recommend a short interesting article page 5 of ICCA Daily Day 1 “Let’s get serious about having fun” by Ronaldo Nardone, president of ICCA.
A couple of talks were webcasted by Klewel including a session on Net promoters (see report article on ICCA daily):
The congress was held in the new Puerto Rico Convention Center which is the largest in the Caribbean and said to be the most technologically advanced throughout both the Caribbean and Latin America.
The Fresh conference is a special conference. It is a conference about conferences. A meeting about meetings? Yes. How to make meetings more productive? How to enjoy meetings? Are meetings important? How to refresh the concept of a meeting? Meetings are not only boring meetings. Meetings can be inspiring. Meetings can be fun. Meetings can bring you a lot or very little. Why? This is the kind of questions the Fresh conference can answer.
Inspiring presentation:
The Fresh conference was organized by Maarten Vanneste, President of the Meeting Support institute. It all started more than 10 years ago when Maarten attended for the first time EIBTM in Geneva Palexpo at that time. He thought no space is invested for support to meeting architects, meetings organizers, meeting planners. This is why he founded the Meeting Support institute which Klewel is member. The MSI is present at the Tech Tap village of IMEX and EIBTM European tradeshows.
