Upon Arrival | Events & Incentives with Adelaine Ng
Upon Arrival is for people creating unforgettable travel and event experiences for corporate clients. This community thrives on inspiration, ideas and strategies which are needed now more than ever through challenging times. The drivers for incentive travel are still strong and it’s just a matter of finding where the success stories are. Upon Arrival aims to uncover these stories to see how the strategists amongst us are learning new ways of doing things and even discovering new destinations and experiences that might not otherwise have been considered. We talk about mindset, personal development, pivot ideas and of course, what's happening with the travel and events industry.

Ep87 How events are using the Metaverse and what it will cost you, with Valerie Bihet
Just when you think you've figured out hybrid, the Metaverse presents itself as the new frontier for the events world to conquer. But who really understands how the Metaverse works, much less how it works for events? Can it be as immersive as in-person events and how much will an event in this space cost?
These many questions are answered by Valerie Bihet, award-winning founder of Vibe Agency in Miami. Valerie got her start in events working at Disneyland Paris and Club Med Paris, producing and managing events teams for Disney’s 5th Anniversary Celebration, Club Med’s 50th Anniversary and The Race, and the world renowned Tour de France. She is sought after for her views on a variety of corporate events from incentive travel to luxury branding to events in the Metaverse.
Quotes from this episode:
" The Metaverse is a fusion of video game, internet, branding, and active audience."
"There is so much in the Metaverse right now in real estate, it is the Gold Rush days right now and people invest to have land... or you rent space to do your event. There is so much opportunity (that) it's time for event planners to join the movement and rethink event strategy."
