“…Youth engagement is paramount during this time given that in many cases young people represent the backbone of their communities and social networks (DeLong et al, 2020). Multiple authors discussed the rapid pivot towards digital engagement and video chatting platforms; citing successful programs engaging youth in digital socio-political conferences and scientific educational outreach (Padma, 2021;Li et al, 2021). Nordström & Wales (2019), suggest that "shocks or perceived crises in relation to social-ecological systems provide opportunities for the reevaluation of the current system, which in turn may lead to 'new kinds of adaptability or possibly to transformational change'" (p. 509).…”

A wealth of perspectives exists in urban spaces; engagement opportunities in planning have the potential to collect theses perspectives and leverage them to shape urban futures. Recognizing the need for diverse and comprehensive community engagement opportunities in planning, this work looks towards how youth voices can be further integrated into the planning process. Youth represent active stakeholders in their communities, with a keen capacity to observe and recount their lived urban experienced. Existing literature details the challenges and opportunities that youth engagement represents. This research explores specific tools that urban planners and other allied professionals make use of when engaging youth-identifying communities. Through a series of semi structured interviews, this project led to the creation of an actionable youth engagement toolkit: Cities For Youth – Toolkit for Youth Engagement in Planning, This professional facing deliverable was supported by the production of a complementary podcast episode as part of the Spacing Radio series. Jointly, these two pieces look to expand on professional perspectives on youth engagement while bringing this issue to the forefront of urban journalism.

In the wake of COVID -19, several nations have sought to implement digital vaccine passports (DVPs) to enable the resumption of international travel. Comprising a minimum dataset for each unique individual, DVPs have the makings of a global electronic health record, broaching key issues involved in building a global digital health ecosystem. Debate simulations offer a safe, interactive space to foster participatory policy discussions for advancing digital health diplomacy. This study used an online simulation of a Model World Health Assembly to critically analyse the sociotechnical issues associated with the global implementation of DVPs, and to generate useful insights and questions about the role of diplomacy in global digital health. The debate arguments addressed and provided insights into the technological, scientific, ethical, legal, policy & societal aspects of DVPs. Reflecting on the simulation, we discuss its opportunities and challenges for the digitalization, decolonization, decentralization, and democratisation of participatory policymaking.

“…Event planning and design are crucial for event planners to consider increasing PV (Li et al, 2021). Therefore, the current post-COVID-19 environment naturally indicates a new design approach to business event modality.…”

“…In the initial stages of the pandemic-related lockdown, virtual was the only option for meetings and events. Whether it was school, church, or educational events, technological advances were accelerated to meet the needs of those longing for education (Li et al, 2021). The inability to safely conduct in-person meetings forced virtual to the forefront of event design and increased the rate at which technology had been advancing.…”

“…By opening previously geographically and economically challenging in-person business events to the virtual world, brand reach was extended with no significant investment in marketing dollars. Research conducted by Cambridge WHO simulations indicated that virtual offerings removed many barriers to in-person events, such as ticket costs, travel costs, food costs, accommodations costs, and Visa application costs (Li et al, 2021;Arend & Bruijns, 2019). Considering those barriers are removed from a virtual event experience, continuing some form of virtual experience beyond 2021 is warranted (Hameed et al, 2021).…”

How Perceived Value Influences Business Event Attendees Future Behavioral Intentions: A Comparison between Event Modalities

Even two years after the COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting and event industry's efforts must focus on understanding attendees' purchase behaviors and event modality preferences. This study aims to address these factors by using a 2 (Event modality: in-person or virtual) × 6 (six dimensions of perceived value: social value, emotional value, monetary value, functional value, novelty value, and convenience value) between-subject experiment design and a 6 (Six dimensions of perceived value (PV): social value, emotional value, monetary value, functional value, novelty value, and convenience value) x 2 (PV effect on word-of-mouth (WOM) intent and repeat purchase intent (RPI)) between-subject experimental design. Specifically, it applies the perceived value theory in investigating the effects of different value dimensions (social, emotional, monetary, functional, novelty, and convenience) based on attendee event modality (in-person or virtual) and their impact on WOM intent and RPI. The data was collected via Prolific. Different ANOVA and t-tests were conducted. The results suggest that event modality had little bearing on the six dimensions of PV. Results also showed that PV positively impacts WOM intent and RPI.
