WEDNESDAY, January 19: January Education - Intentional Meeting Design Makes a Difference!

Be Mindful, Be Bold, Be Better!

Our industry is desperate to see live attendance at events back up to pre-pandemic levels. Planners are tasked with building BOLD experiential events to ensure participants feel their time is well spent—with relevant content and an atmosphere and presentation delivered in a top-notch manner.

So much has changed in how we approach planning now. Planners must be MINDFUL of their attendees’ needs, suppliers mindful of their clients’ needs and everyone mindful of their own needs. With so much on our plates, both planners and suppliers must take care to work from a restful place. It is important to be focused while maintaining a calm demeanor so that you can bring your most productive self to the workplace. When we do that, then we can be bold enough to plan outside the box and do everything BETTER! When we are working from a centered demeanor, detail planning is a cinch! Upsets and surprises won’t rattle you to the point of dismay. Staying calm amidst disruptions (because it is going to happen) can bring out a new level of creativity that makes the attendee/client experience highly rewarding.
 
It is time to be Mindful, Bold and Better! Join us to hear from three fresh voices, each with a unique perspective to share. Our distinguished panel of presenters for this session will be:

• Ashley Cardini, CMP, Founder, The Mindful Masterclass
• Hallia Baker, CMP, Senior Events Manager, The Netherland America Foundation
• Gregory Offner, Jr., ARM, Professional Keynote Speaker, Creator of “Disruption & Creativity”

In this informative and engaging session you will learn:

• 5 tips to I.N.F.U.S.E. mindfulness into your events
• How to be bold enough to perform in excellence despite challenges
• How to spin a disruption into a creative opportunity

As an industry leader, MPIGNY strives to stay ahead of the trends. To that end, we are very excited to offer professional closed captioning for this program.
