Gen Z-ers (those born between 1995-2010) are the uprising attendees ready to make their mark on the meetings and conventions industry—and what they say, feel, and want to see at future events could make or break how DMOs and planners do business. To generate conversation around an upcoming event for Gen Z, you have to put yourself in their shoes.
