In an exclusive interaction with MICE Travel Advisor, Mrs. Sue Pisani, Managing Director of StudioSeven- Board Member – EMEA Representative & Treasurer of Congress Rental Network shares her views on how meetings’ industry is shaping with the advent of cutting-edge technology.
MICE Travel Advisor: How the meetings’ and event industry is going in 2023? In post pandemic, how the events’ industry is shaping with the advent of new technology?
Mrs. Sue Pisani: The industry is coming back with vengeance – last minute, lower budgets but still want a great show. Of course they also want the latest techy gear to impress too!
MICE Travel Advisor: Share with us about Congress Rental Network and this company is working to offer seamless experiences to the MICE delegates and event planners.
Mrs. Sue Pisani: Congress Rental Network’s clients are primarily looking for the best simultaneous interpretation facilities which we specialize in. Some of us also offer a one stop shop service to ensure the best technical experience one could get. We strive to have clients return back happily after the excellent service offered.
MICE Travel Advisor: How you work with convention centres and bureaus to provide better service?
Mrs. Sue Pisani: We aim to become their go to reference for all their technical dilemmas or challenges for that matter. Centres or bureaus are not also equipped well enough and here we are a phone call away.
MICE Travel Advisor: How you collaborate to create a global pool of resource?
Mrs. Sue Pisani : As a Network we strive to build a relationship amongst us of trust and reliability so that we know exactly who to call when the need arises.
MICE Travel Advisor: How Simultaneous Interpretation works here? How Congress Rental works to provide more equipment to your clients?
Mrs. Sue Pisani : Simultaneous Interpretation is a facility offered to those who don’t understand the language being used during a conference, thus interpreters are brought in to simultaneously translate what is being said into a language that can be understood by those who need such a service. We can offer both remote interpretation or in the meeting equipment to facilitate the client’s budget and desires.
Members of the CRN do their best to ensure that the equipment required is found available for the client when required. Sometimes more is less and we first have to understand what the deliverables are to ensure budgets are met and expectations are achieved.
