SUMMARY:May Education Event – Communication in an AI World: The Skill AI Can’t Replace
DESCRIPTION:Communication in an AI World: The Skill AI Can’t Replace \nIn an AI accelerated world\, a leader’s real advantage is that communication becomes most effective when their presence is steady. When the mind settles\, clarity sharpens\, tone stabilizes\, and people align. They listen differently. Experience how to cultivate that grounded steadiness so your communication carries trust\, influence\, and quiet authority without pushing harder. \nDr. Andrea Luoma \n \nDr. Andrea Luoma is a neuroscience-based consultant\, speaker\, and NeuroCoach who helps leaders and organizations communicate with clarity\, steadiness\, and trust in an AI‑accelerated world. Her work focuses on how we interact\, connect\, get along\, and resolve tension\, and how to temper our internal reactions so we bring the clarity and steadiness that determine whether those moments build trust or trigger reactivity. She helps leaders turn down the mind chatter that clouds judgment so they can make quicker\, clearer decisions and communicate with more precision and steadiness. \nWith a PhD in Leadership and a master’s degree in Communication\, Dr. Andrea integrates NeuroLeadership\, Conversational Intelligence\, and NeuroWellness to show leaders how internal states shape every interaction. She teaches that with every conversation — intentional or not — we either pull people toward us or push them away. Her methods reveal how stress\, emotional overload\, the pressure to always be on\, and rapid‑fire thinking disrupt clarity\, tone\, and trust\, and how simple physiological resets restore access to better decisions\, better communication\, and better outcomes. \nHer global client list includes Sound Transit\, Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts\, Marina Bay Sands Singapore\, The Peninsula Hong Kong\, Taj Hotels\, Ritz‑Carlton Miami\, Hyatt Regency Osaka\, and multiple government ministries and Fortune‑level organizations. She has taught in MBA and leadership programs across the U.S.\, Australia\, Kenya\, and Switzerland. \nShe hosted Conversation Reimagined\, a weekly radio show and podcast where she interviewed neuroscientists and psychologists on the science of communication\, trust\, and human connection\, and she will appear in an upcoming Lifetime TV episode exploring how leaders can communicate with clarity and steadiness in a rapidly changing world. \nShe brings to PCMA a timely message: in an AI world\, presence is the skill technology cannot replace. Her work gives leaders practical\, physiology‑based tools to reduce internal noise\, restore grounded authority\, and communicate in ways people trust and follow. \nAgenda: \n11:30am – 12:00pm – Registration/Networking \n12:00pm – 12:30pm – Lunch \n12:30pm – 2:00pm – Program/Hands-On \n2:00pm – Program Concludes \nRates: \nMeeting Planner (Independent\, Corporate\, Third Party\, Association\, Government) – $50.00 \nSupplier (Hotel\, Facility\, AV\, Sales of any Kind) – $75.00 \n*Price goes up onsite by $25.00 \n  \nNeed to Stay the Night?  \n$125.00 Deluxe King rooms available for May 13-14th. \nBOOK HERE or call hotel at 206-246-8600 and ask for PCMA May Chapter Rate \nSponsored by DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport

SUMMARY:The Questions Keeping Event Leaders Up at Night\, Answered
DESCRIPTION:at 			\n			\n							 \n\nThis free webinar is made possible with the support of our sponsor\, 360 Live Media and Choose Chicago. \nEvents feel harder right now because they are. Costs keep rising\, participation is unpredictable\, and the metrics we’ve been using are no longer telling the full story. What’s more\, event leaders are being asked to deliver more with the outdated models that stopped serving us years ago.    \nThe good news is\, we know what needs to change.   \nIn this live discussion\, three experienced event leaders share how they are rethinking their approach in real time. Grounded in the most common questions we’re hearing from the events community\, this conversation focuses on three critical shifts: what stays and what goes in your event portfolio\, how to redefine success in a way that reflects today’s reality\, and how to guide stakeholders toward smarter\, more confident decisions.  \nYou’ll hear how small changes can unlock major results\, how data can reshape the conversation\, and how to guide committees through moments of uncertainty without losing momentum. This is a practical\, honest look at what it takes to create events in today’s world.  \nIn this session\, you’ll learn how to: \n\nUnderstand a practical approach to get started with evaluating your event portfolio. \nGather insights on relevant metrics to measure event impact. \nGain tools on how to lead more effective decision-making conversations that help your stakeholders move forward. \n\nCan’t attend live?

SUMMARY:June Lunch & Learn: Get Selected\, Not Sidelined: How Suppliers Can Improve RFP Success
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a candid panel discussion featuring experienced event planners who will share what they need from industry suppliers to ensure success. \nThis session is tailored to hotels\, venues\, DMCs\, AV partners\, and other event suppliers looking to strengthen relationships and remain competitive.

SUMMARY:Spark Lab 2.0
DESCRIPTION:The Spark 2.0 Lab is a hands-on AI workshop designed for event planners who are using AI and want to go further. \nThis Lab focuses on how Spark supports real event workflows that are difficult to achieve with standalone AI tools. Instead of isolated prompts or one-off tasks\, participants will learn how to use Spark to plan events\, transform complex content\, and turn data into actionable insights across the event lifecycle. \nParticipants will work directly inside Spark on practical use cases such as structuring event plans\, converting long-form video and session content into usable outputs\, and analyzing registration and survey data to inform smarter decisions. Small-group Labs allow participants to apply these workflows to their own upcoming events\, test ideas in real time\, and learn from peers. \nFoundational concepts are covered quickly. The majority of the session is dedicated to medium and advanced workflows that reflect how event teams actually work today. Participants will leave with ready-to-use workflows\, a clearer understanding of where Spark goes beyond generic AI tools\, and practical ideas for engaging their teams with Spark in 2026 and beyond. \nParticipants must bring their laptops as this is a hands on workshop. \nAdvanced registration is required. This event is exclusive to event strategists.

SUMMARY:Stop Beating Yourself Up: Leading with Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Join the PCMA POWER Chapter for an event in collaboration with MPI Pittsburgh! \nRegister here on the MPI Pittsburgh website (choose the PCMA Member option) \nEvent Summary\nIn the fast-paced world of events\, we are often expected to do the impossible — deliver flawless experiences while navigating tight timelines\, high expectations\, and constant pressure. Over time\, many professionals rely on their inner critic to stay sharp\, believing that pushing harder and doing more is the only way to succeed. \nBut operating in a constant state of pressure comes at a cost. When productivity is fueled by self-criticism rather than self-trust\, it can lead to burnout\, disengagement\, and teams that operate from fear rather than creativity. \nIn this engaging and research-backed session\, Matt Kovatchis explores the hidden cost of self-criticism and how it quietly undermines both personal well-being and organizational performance. He introduces self-compassion as a powerful leadership skill that strengthens emotional resilience\, improves collaboration\, and supports sustainable success in high-pressure environments. \nThrough humor\, vulnerability\, and practical strategies\, Matt helps event professionals shift their inner dialogue\, lead themselves and their teams more effectively\, and create cultures where people can perform at a high level without sacrificing their well-being.
