Your Health Is Your Wealth.

Why is health and wellness an afterthought during conferences and industry events?

Why do we talk about mental health, yet exhaust our minds?

Why do we preach self care, yet serve french fries?

Why do we wish for sleep, yet party all night?

Conference organizers should put more effort into wellness + health

1. Increased Energy Levels For Attendees
2. Enhanced Mental Clarity and Cognitive Function
3. Stress Reduction
4. Better Sleep Quality
5. Enhanced Mood and Emotional Well-being

Creating a better environment, creates a better attendee experience.

Here are some considerations to take when planning these events:
- Daily Focused Workout Sessions in the A.M.
- Healthy Whole Food Options
- Designate Silent / Tech Free Spaces
- Movement Focused Sessions
- Standing Areas in Sessions
- Walking Paths Between Sessions
- Active Seating Options (Bike, Tread, Elliptical)
- Physical Activity Breaks
- Stretching Sessions
- Group Walks
- Onsite Fitness Classes
- Wellness Challenges
- Provide Sleeping Pods
- Create Laughing Cubes
- On Site Back Massages

There are so many ways in which we can enhance the environment and create a better conference experience.

What are some creative ways you have seen health and wellness being prioritized?

Has the elimination of the “HOSPITABLE HUMAN” damaged the service industry for good?

Better yet, has the incorporation of AI, convenience technology, and efficiency-focused service changed the true definition of what hospitality is, and how it should be delivered? In particular, in an environment such as a hotel, restaurant, or special event.

This past week, I had the pleasure of having dinner with one of my first mentors, Aziz Amiri We talked about service and hospitality, and how it has changed over the last few decades. Primarily, the willingness of employees to go above and beyond, build relationships, and seize opportunities for business growth.

The Hospitable Human (Employee):
- Friendly and Generous
- Welcoming to guests or people they have just met
- Anticipates guests needs
- Takes care of the guest, and exceeds expectations
- Creates a welcoming, caring environment that makes guests feel valued and respected.
- Encompasses a positive attitude, professional demeanor, and warmth
- Giving them a memorable, positive experience, with an emotional connection
- Adaptable and flexible to accommodate guests' needs

Technology Integration has tremendously revolutionized the hospitality industry.
- Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics used to personalize guest experiences
- Online booking systems, self-service kiosks, mobile check-in, and apps
- CRM Systems track preferences for tailored service offerings
- Digital Communication: Live chat, Social media, and Messaging apps
- Instant gratification, convenience, and feedback all in real-time

Experience and Personalization:
- Modern consumers value unique and personalized experiences.
- Experiential travel where activities reflect local culture and heritage.
- Customers desire warmth, inclusion, and anticipation of needs

Horst Schulze, co-founder of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, believes that true excellence in service is achieved when employees are empowered to create memorable experiences that resonate on an emotional level with guests.

So how do we get back to this level of guest experience where technology and humanity can join forces and create the perfect “hospitable human?”

Thank you, ChatGPT for the photo! ;)

Networking at events is not for everyone.

It’s important! Especially for solo professionals.

The Intent:
- Creating Organic Connections
- Business Growth
- Collaboration
- Education

The Feelings:
- Overwhelm
- Isolation
- Daunting
- Exhausting

Recognizing this, organizations are increasingly prioritizing initiatives to ensure every attendee feels welcomed and empowered at these networking events.

Welcome & Registration Desk:
- Provide Essential Information
- Provide Support +Troubleshooting
- Staffed By A Smiling Human

Engaging Welcome Reception:
- Set The Stage For Meaningful Interactions
- Creating Opportunity with F&B Action Stations
- Visual Icebreakers As Conversation Starters

The Result:
- Takes The Pressure Off “Networking”
- Focus On Something Else
- Comfortably Show Their Authentic Self And Shine

Attending MPI’s We[Con] 2024, the planners' networking luncheon was awesome! Grouped in teams by colorful wristbands, we lunched & learned, connected, then rode Duffy Boats through Newport Harbor on a Scavenger Hunt.

To The Solo Pro:
- Join The Organization
- Connect On LinkedIn during your first interaction
- Embrace The Human Connection
- I’d love to connect with you and get to know the human side of you!

How do you Pi?

PLANiTLA We're thinking of something good and grateful! Coming soon! Let's celebrate our beautiful CEO!

10/22/2023

When professional colleagues preach , one hopes that they walk the walk as well! I can say that Liz Lathan, CMP and Nicole Osibodu, have shown me what community is all about!
They not only welcomed me into their circle all the way in by way of but also brought into my world!
Being a first-time attendee at the world’s largest event industry conference, here are a few insights I was able to walk away with! There are so many more jewels that I brought back with me, but these are a few topics that were talked about the most!
1. The event world is thriving! As a new attendee, I was not sure what to expect. However, I learned that this was the largest attendance of over 17,000 people from all over the world in IMEX history. In one of the talks I attended, Carina Bauer, the CEO of IMEX explained how everything is growing! It’s an exciting time to be in our industry.
2. Belonging was a buzzword across the conference floor. Corporations of all sizes, including Google and others are taking creative steps to ensure attendees feel welcome and included in so many ways! Specifically, the inclusion of attendees was being discussed, as to how to best take care of their specific needs in cool and creative ways!
3. is a HOT topic! We were exposed to the benefits of how AI will change business and the human experience in so many ways. "Thou should not fear something that needs a human to operate!" Are you afraid of AI?
3.5 Did you know that is only good for info up until December 2021? After that...who knows what it knows! I found that entertaining and then I started playing around with it a bit more to see what would come out of it.
4. A great company, Storycraft has partnered with Google and has created an amazing immersive experience studying : The Japanese concept that gives your life worth, meaning, or purpose. Check out the photos attached of some of the responses written by people to the questions that were asked. Insightful isn’t it?
5. Attention to the needs of the attendees was also at the forefront. How do you stay engaged in several days of education, meetings, and networking? One tool that was used was these noise-canceling headphones that allowed attendees to focus on the presenter rather than be distracted by all the noise around! It was a great addition to the enhancement of the programs.

Overall, was eye-opening for me. It left me feeling inspired, motivated, and excited to get to work on so many different areas of my event planning business! It's a great time to be in this business, and I look forward to enhancing my skillset, and my network, and to planning some amazing events for our awesome clients!

If you attended IMEX, what was your key takeaway? I'd love to know!

Thank you, again, Liz Lathan, CMP and Nicole Osibodu for being such amazing community builders! (And givers of great HUGS!)

It takes training, a detail-oriented eye, and lots of practice to ensure you have the details needed to complete the "look". We take great pride to make sure the details of the setup are done right. I walk through the setup with my leadership team members, show them, and then we get to work. I also take photos of the finished product to have more tools for training to fall back on! We love our work, and love our clients!

It was a beautiful SURPRISE WEDDING!! First a baptism for her baby girl, then a quick outfit change into her beautiful gown, as her guests were guided outside to sit in their seats. Perhaps by then they knew what was happening, but clearly a beautiful bride and excited groom sure did surprise their guests. A lovely ending to a beautiful day! Congratulations E + E! Many more happy years! . . . . . #wedding #2021wedding #pandemicwedding #surprisewedding #baptism #love #bride #groom #guests #family #love #thecarrushouse @thecarrushouse #planitla @planitla #losangelesweddingplanner #weddingplanner #weddings #eventvenue #weddingvenue #partyvenue
