We often say that meetings are the spaces where we change the world. When people come together under the auspice of transformational events, they often leave emboldened, better, more determined to be an agent of that change.

With this, we must continue to not only think critically about what we are contributing back to the world we impact daily, but also, how we contribute, and how we create space for others to participate.

When we think about topics like wellness, or inclusivity, not only who they include, but who have they historically excluded, and how do we change that dynamic? Join us for our first installment of Destination: YOU where we explore how wellness, identity, and authenticity intersect to create meaningful change for individuals, within our events, and within ourselves.

Picket Fences or Brick Walls? | Discovering Different Types of Boundaries

Credits: None available.

1.0 Clock Hour | Domain G: Meeting and Event Design

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CST

Setting boundaries ... it is something we all hear about, talk about, and maybe even promise ourselves "this time, I am going to stick to it." But somehow, we always end up falling into the same habits that made us want to redefine our boundaries in the first place! Emailing late at night, working on days off, skipping family functions to get work done - and so many more. Maybe you have boundaries outside of work that you are challenged to maintain. Here is the thing - if you can't keep a boundary in place, it is likely because it is the wrong kind. In this webinar, we will work through my picket fence or brick wall boundaries model, and discuss the different types of boundaries, where they work best, how to maintain them, and more. Why? Because holding space for yourself, and enhancing the way you live and work helps to make you a fuller, more robust person and professional. 

If you attend this session you will gain ... 

  1. Confidence in creating and maintaining boundaries. 
  2. How to communicate boundaries to others.
  3. Which boundaries to negotiate or not.

Events Take Grit: How One Team is Changing an Industry Narrative

Credits: None available.

1.0 Clock Hours | Domain E: Human Resources

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CST

Long before the “she-cession” of the COVID-19 pandemic, industry verticals within the meetings & events space have sorely lacked equitable representation. In the world of AV and event production, rarely do we see a majority female workforce, especially in leadership representation. In fact, according to the Audio Engineering Society, women make up just 5% to 7% of audio engineers and event producers. Our partners at Grit Productions & Expositions, however, have managed to create a highly successful business model with a ceiling-shattering approach to how they remain on the cutting edge of ensuring women are at the forefront of their brand and team.

Join us for a conversation with Charlotte Miles VP, Productions and Delaney Owen, Account Manager as they share “What Takes Grit” to build, maintain, and evolve a successful career in event production. Learn from their individual career experiences, and how they are purposefully changing the face of the production industry, one event at a time. The session will conclude with a rapid-fire Q&A round with Grit Partner and VP of Sales & Marketing, Leigh Massey.
