SUMMARY:Making the Case: How Practitioners Are Winning Leadership Buy-In for In-Person Meetings 
DESCRIPTION:at 			\n			\n							 \n\nThis free webinar is made possible with the support of our sponsor\, Experience Columbus.  \n \nBusiness executives don’t need convincing that meeting in person has value. When the business case is clear\, research shows they get it and want to be in the room. The harder problem is that meeting professionals often lack the language to make that case to leadership before the budget is approved.  \nThis session digs into that gap: why proving the value of in-person meetings remains one of the industry’s persistent challenges\, and what’s actually working to close it.  \nKevin Hinton from U.S. Travel will share new research into how business leaders perceive in-person meetings: what they see as essential (building trust\, gaining alignment\, having sharper conversations with peers\, customers\, employees\, and partners) and where the disconnect happens between that belief and getting a meeting approved. He’ll also introduce “Meetings Meet the Moment\,” the campaign U.S. Travel built with its members in response to this research\, including messaging and resources practitioners can put to use right away. \nAlongside Kevin\, Jenny Sauer-Klein\, founder and CEO at The Primary Shift\, Jeremy Youett\, Experiential Marketing Leader\, and Michelle Allgauer\, SVP Education & Engagement\, Financial Services at Financial Services Institute will share how they’re tackling this challenge in their own organizations: the arguments that land with leadership\, the data points that move the needle\, and what they wish they’d known before walking into that budget conversation. \nIn this session\, you’ll learn how to: \n\nIdentify the specific business objectives executives associate with in-person meetings\, based on original research findings\nRecognize common gaps between leadership’s belief in meeting value and the organizational support to fund and approve meetings\nApply practical language and messaging frameworks to make a stronger business case to leadership and decision makers\nLearn how peer practitioners are addressing leadership skepticism and “tough questions” in real budget and planning conversations\nAccess and apply ready-to-use campaign resources\, including messaging and social assets\, to their own organization’s advocacy efforts\n\nCan’t attend live?

It’s created through everyday interactions\, conversations\, and the courage to show up authentically. In a world where people are craving connection\, trust\, and belonging\, leaders have an opportunity to shape cultures where people feel seen\, heard\, valued\, and empowered to contribute their best work. But creating that kind of environment requires more than good intentions; it requires vulnerability\, emotional intelligence\, and the willingness to lead as a human first. \nIn this engaging and interactive keynote\, award-winning speaker Courtney Stanley explores how authenticity becomes the foundation for stronger relationships\, deeper trust\, and more empathetic workplace cultures. Through powerful peer-to-peer storytelling\, practical strategies\, and meaningful audience reflection\, attendees will discover how to foster genuine connection\, communicate with greater intention\, and create environments where people feel safe to contribute\, collaborate\, and thrive. \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nLeverage vulnerability as a strength that fosters connection and psychological safety\nCreate a culture where people feel respected\, valued\, and empowered to contribute\nStrengthen self-awareness and emotional intelligence to become a more impactful leader\n\n______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nRegistration:\nRegistration is limited and we expect to sell out!

SUMMARY:September Education Event – Coeur d’Alene Idaho
DESCRIPTION:Burnout-Proof: Resilience for the Long Game© \nBurnout isn’t just stress. It’s an experience that can change the size\, structure\, and function of the brain. \nIt’s what happens when capable\, committed people operate under sustained pressure without the capacity to recover\, reset\, or recalibrate how they work. Over time\, decision quality declines\, tension rises\, and even high performers begin to disengage—not because they don’t care\, but because the system demands more than it restores. \nIn Burnout-Proof©\, leadership capacity strategist Princess Castleberry challenges the myth that resilience is about doing less or lowering expectations. Instead\, she reframes burnout as a predictable outcome of mismanaged pressure\, double-edged strengths\, and workflows that drain energy and focus. \nDrawing on her experience in enterprise risk management and crisis response\, Princess shows audiences how burnout develops long before people name it— and why traditional prevention efforts fail to interrupt it. Participants gain a clearer understanding of how workplace conditions\, decision fatigue\, and unexamined strengths accelerate exhaustion\, and what it actually takes to build resilience that holds over time. \nBurnout-Proof© equips leaders\, teams\, and frontline professionals with a practical mindset and shared language to sustain performance\, protect capacity\, and stay engaged in the long game. \nActionable Takeaways \n\nReframe burnout as a leadership and organizational capacity risk—and identify how and where it shows up before performance declines\nUnderstand how high-performing strengths become liabilities under sustained pressure\nRecognize workplace and professional conditions that accelerate exhaustion\, disengagement\, and decision fatigue\nLeave with a clearer\, more durable approach to resilience that protects performance without retreating from the work\n\n\nSpeaker Info:\n\nPrincess Castleberry\, Global Speaker & CEO Castleberry Global \nPrincess Castleberry is a leadership capacity strategist\, global keynote speaker\, and author with more than two decades of enterprise risk management expertise. She is on a mission to disrupt the leadership capacity crisis.  Princess partners with organizations across the global business events industry using her Live\, Lead\, and Build Leverage Framework to strengthen leadership capacity\, alignment\, and well-being in the face of AI advancement\, workforce volatility\, and geopolitical uncertainty. \nHer combined experience in governance\, crisis management\, learning systems design\, and human resources – now applied to the realities of AI-enabled leadership – helps organizations connect behavior\, systems\, and decision quality to measurable business outcomes. \nShe is the author of The Truth Is in the Trigger\, a leadership playbook for decoding the stress and burnout that drive breakdowns. \n\nAgenda:\n\n11:30am – 12:00pm – Registration/Networking \n12:00pm – 12:30pm – Lunch \n12:30pm – 2:00pm – Program/Hands-On \n2:00pm – Program Concludes \n**2pm-3pm – Social Cruise Around Coeur d’Alene Lake \nRates: \nMeeting Planner – (Independent\, Corporate\, Third Party\, Association\, Government) – $FREE \nSupplier – (Hotel\, Facility\, AV\, Sales of any Kind) – $50.00 \nStudent – $10.00 \n**60-minute social cruise following the program!

SUMMARY:Education Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the annual PCMA Greater Philadelphia Chapter Education Day on Thursday\, September 17\, at Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia!\nSpend the day connecting with industry colleagues while gaining valuable insights during two engaging education sessions\, building relationships over a networking lunch\, and participating in interactive activations. Whether you’re looking to gain fresh insights\, expand your professional network\, or reconnect with fellow industry professionals\, Education Day is the place to be. We can’t wait to see you there! \nAgenda:\n10:00-11:00 AM: Registration and networking coffee break\n11:00 AM-12:30 PM: Opening remarks and Session One\n12:30-1:30 PM: Lunch\n1:30-2:30 PM: Session Two \nClick here for quick access to register! \nSession I: How High-Performing Teams Master Change\, Pressure\, and Dysfunction\, with PCMA Leading Class Speaker\, Kathryn Landis \nToday’s leaders are navigating nonstop change\, widening spans of control\, and relentless demands—often with fewer resources and less clarity. When pressure rises\, even capable teams fall into patterns that stall execution: decisions escalate upward\, meetings multiply\, and people wait for signals instead of acting. \nIn this highly practical session\, executive coach and trusted advisor to senior leadership teams Kathryn Landis\, an NYU Adjunct Assistant Professor\, draws on Harvard research on team effectiveness and her advisory work with senior leadership teams to explain why capable teams lose momentum under pressure—and how leaders restore clarity\, alignment\, and forward progress. She introduces a practical framework teams can use to clarify decision ownership\, reduce friction across teams\, and address dysfunction before it slows execution. \nParticipants will learn how to: \n\nClarify decision ownership to reduce confusion and accelerate execution\nIdentify the hidden dynamics that drive team friction and stalled progress\nStrengthen collaboration when priorities compete and resources feel constrained\n\nSession 2: Building Connection\, Culture & Collaboration in Today’s Flexible Workforce­–Practical Strategies for Leading High-Performing Teams Anywhere \nLeading teams has never been more complex. Between remote employees\, hybrid schedules\, freelancers\, contractors\, volunteers\, and onsite event staff\, today’s leaders must create cultures of trust and belonging without everyone sharing the same office. This highly interactive session moves beyond theory. Through live polling\, peer-to-peer problem solving\, fishbowl conversations\, and rapid-fire idea exchanges\, participants will discover practical ways to recruit\, onboard\, engage\, mentor\, and retain high-performing teams regardless of where they work. \nAttendees won’t just hear best practices\, they’ll build them together. \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the leadership practices that create trust\, engagement\, and accountability across remote\, hybrid\, and onsite teams.\nDesign practical onboarding\, communication\, and relationship-building strategies that foster belonging from day one.\nApply collaborative problem-solving techniques to real workforce challenges and leave with actionable ideas that can immediately strengthen their own teams.\n\nRegistration Information \n\nMembership in the PCMA Greater Philadelphia Chapter is not required to attend.
