RECAP: THURSDAY, April 7: Global Meetings Industry Day

On April 7, thanks to the collaboration with our industry partners—HSMAIGNY, Site Northeast USA, PCMA New York Chapter, ILEA New York Metro, NYSAE, and the Live Events Coalition of NY & NJ—we successfully celebrated Global Meetings Industry Day. Our combined efforts produced a tastefully designed education program, Navigating the Road to Success. This hybrid event was hosted graciously at the Intercontinental New York Times Square and sponsored by Wind Creek Bethlehem

It was an evening of thoughtful insight from our distinguished panelists: Lori Allen, MetLife; Staceyann M. Van Horne-Doria, CMP, Showpad; Wayne M. Robinson, CMP, CMM, FM Global; and moderator Carvie Gillikin, HMCC, McVeigh Global Meetings & Events. The panel shared their challenges during and post pandemic and projections for the future. Plus, there was an added special feature to the program, Tales from the Trenches, with industry frontline workers sharing their experiences during the pandemic, highlighting lessons learned and aspirations for their future. All in all, a great time was had by all: delectable food and drink, engaging education, and great networking! The meetings and hospitality industry showed up and showed out!
