EMC elects new board of directors
On February 27, 2018, the members of the Event Management Circle (EMC) unanimously elected a new board of directors. With the new board, the Circle’s strategic direction will also be adjusted.
During the first Event Management Circle this year in Zurich's X-Tra, the members of the association present unanimously elected the new board. The new EMC board is chaired by Andreas Feurer (Feuerbach Events), who was already a member of the association's board. Vice president is Marco Boppart (Richterich & Partner), who joins the EMC board as a new member. Also part of the board are Beatrix Troschke (F. Hofmann-La Roche, previously), Lorenz Arni (SVIT Switzerland, previously), Marc Maurer (Marc Maurer communications, newly) and Susanne Felder (Siemens Switzerland, previously).
New EMC alignment
With the new board, the members also voted for a new orientation of the EMC. The event will continue to be at the center of future events. However, in the sense of a 360° approach, the areas of PR, marketing, advertising and (digital) communication will also be given greater weight.
The Event Management Circle was founded in 2005 and sees itself as a platform for the transfer of expertise, mutual exchange and support for industry-specific concerns. With more than 170 members, the association is one of the largest event platforms in Switzerland. Members are representatives from event agencies and companies in the banking, insurance, pharmaceutical and consumer goods industries. The EMC organizes four Event Circles per year, where members receive impulses for their daily work in the event sector through workshops and external presentations. The focus is on networking among the participants.
