Featuring:

Wellness is a $480 billion dollar business in the United States, growing up to 10% annually, according to McKinsey. This is not a trend, it's a widespread cultural priority for physical and emotional well-being that extends to expectations in meetings.

Participants will learn:
- The growing significance of health and wellness in event planning
- How to integrate wellness elements into the agenda
- Why prioritizing wellness increases attendee engagement and satisfaction
- Several techniques that meeting planners can use when overwhelmed or stressed
