Gen Z is enjoying its digital downtime, including popularizing analog products such as Polaroid cameras.

When Hulu was developing the marketing campaign for its new drama series “Black Cake,” a partnership strategy with local businesses in major markets was key to driving awareness among target audiences. The local businesses not only allowed the brand to reach loyal customers in person at cafes and bakeries, they helped expand its social reach, with six BIPOC-owned shops posting on social about the series and their collaborative events with Hulu, which featured advance screenings, book and journal

There’s no doubt that green meetings and events are becoming mainstream. As proof of that pretty much all of the major meetings and events associations have adopted green meeting guidelines. Apart from the fact that this is indicative of an industry embracing sustainability, these associations are also a great resource that you can use to make your meetings a little (or a lot) greener.

There is no rest for the wicked. I’ve been in the conference and convention planning business for well over 20 years (that’s a whole other story). Many of my friends assume that meeting planners and industry suppliers have a lot of down time over the holidays. Wouldn’t that be nice! However, the truth is that when there is a perceived “quiet time” for meeting and events, that’s usually when planners are busy working on proposals, closing files and, you guessed it, attending planning conferences.

And for most us (most importantly) the season for partying! And even with the current economic climate, most companies still try to make sure that they offer up some sort of holiday celebration so their staff can enjoy and will know that, yes, they are appreciated.

I know I’m not the first to say this, and I surely won’t be the last, but speaking from personal experience (and in this very humble opinion), truer words have not been spoken. So drum roll please, conference planners are some of the hardest working multi-taskers I know. And there’s a whole heck of a lot (and I do mean a lot) that goes into planning conferences.

When setting out to plan a conference, it’s often said that choosing the right venue is the most important task. I find planning a conference is like playing cards, pick a card any card. And saying the venue selection is more important than say choosing the city or DMC or accommodations is a crap shoot. They all hold weight and are equally important to the outcome of the conference.

As neighbourhoods go, I’m pretty sure I landed in the best one in town. It’s not posh or even picturesque. But it is a neighbourhood steeped in tradition. Neighbours say hello. They will keep an eye on your house when you are away or pop in and feed the dog if you’re running late. And then there’s the annual summer street party. Twelve years and going strong; up go the road blocks and out come the barbecues and lawn chairs.

The ideal birthday celebration is educational, entertaining, memorable and fun for the honoree and all of the guests. One way to achieve these objectives is to plan for the event well in advance. Start by thinking about the honoree. What type of event would they enjoy most? Are they adventuresome and would they enjoy a big surprise party or would they prefer a quiet dinner at home or at a restaurant with a few close family and friends?
