It's so frustrating to be stuck in a session regretting your decision because the content isn't what was advertised! Esp when the opportunity cost of other sessions you opted out of might be more applicable.

That's a wrap on another amazing Boettcher Foundation Scholar Experience. We spent three thought-provoking, challenging, and FUN days in Westminster. This team is such a joy to work with!

@tojulius I know, those poor pianos! 🌧️

You can’t hope that it won’t rain for an Olympic Ceremony. Where is the plan B? Where is the plan C? How is technology failing?

Landed in Grand Rapids yesterday for #RiverRally2024, and it's a beautiful morning! Looking forward to kicking off the conference with a reception on the Blue Bridge later on.

Ah, that emotional roller coaster of neurotically checking the 10-day weather forecast for an outdoor event that's more than a week away. #eventpros #springtime #IYKYK

The world is still watching, a little more than a third of the way into @Boeing's window to resolve their safety protocols. This has already had an impact on domestic travel, and could cause even more trouble for the industry if they don't satisfy the FAA. northstarmeetingsgroup.com/News/Industry/…

Not new information, but this update from @northstarmeetingsgroup reinforces efforts we're focused on: the attendee experience, integrating #eventtech intentionally, and choosing thoughtful destinations that reflect the values of our clients. northstarmeetingsgroup.com/Supplied-Conte…

Great session about meeting architecture with Dr. Paul Radde, I will never subject attendees to the "brutality of straight rows" again! #MIC24

Business #travel keep evolving - #sustainability in becoming increasingly important factor, and we are continuing to embrace #bleisure. Read more about 2024 trends from @Wego. blog.wego.com/business-trave…

Over the past few years we've been able to invest more in making events accessible for EVERYONE, which include #neurodivergent and #highlysensitive attendees. We are thrilled to see venues recognizing this and prioritizing these improvements! ibcces.org/blog/2024/02/2…

With costs rising across the board, booking speakers is becoming a task that is influenced more heavily by their relevance and outcomes than their celebrity, and finding someone local will help save budget for non-negotiables. #corporateevents #eventpros meetingsnet.com/speakers-enter…

Tom Rhodes, Head Chef at @Tweedenham Stadium, has invested months in creating satisfying food that is also #carbonneutral. Read about what he's learned about #regenerative farming and circular waste strategies, and peep those delicious-looking offerings! mitmagazine.co.uk/Meetings/CSR/C…

New CDC guidance states that people with COVID symptoms only have to be "fever-free without the help of medication for at least 24 hours" before they leave the house again. Hopefully we can stay respectful of each other as we navigate yet a new normal. northstarmeetingsgroup.com/News/Coronavir…?

Tips from @BizBash for engaging first-time attendees at your next event. Hopefully when they leave they'll be looking forward to coming back again! bizbash.com/meetings-trade…

Laura Resco, Dir. of Hotel Intelligence at @HotStats: “For 2024, we expect this trend to continue stabilizing on profit margins slightly lower than we were in 2019." When margins are similar but costs so much higher, our economy is still out of balance. costar.com/article/140964…

We all understand that tapping into emotions makes for a more engaging (and memorable) experience - here are a few concrete ways @Skift has sparked that connection with attendees. (We love uplights too!) meetings.skift.com/events-that-fo…

According to the Global Exhibition Barometer, 2024 is expected to be a banner year for events. #EventPros agree! tsnn.com/news/ufi-globa…

We spent a few hours yesterday considering the impact we want to make in 2024, and crafting vision boards with the @BoulderChamber Business Women's Leadership Group. Very inspired to #DreamBigger this year!
