SUMMARY:Making Your Event Sustainable: A New Priority
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 12\nTime 4:30 p.m.\nAccording to International Organization for Standardization 20121\, sustainable event management is the process of integrating environmental and corporate social responsibility issues into event planning. Sustainable events require you consider the needs of various parties that are impacted by your event. On the one hand\, you take steps to reduce negative impacts\, such as solid waste. While on the other hand you also seek out opportunities for events to give positive benefits to local communities. \nRunning greener meetings isn’t on every event planners’ radar but there are lots of reasons why you should be producing more sustainable events. There are many altruistic reasons to make your events more sustainable. But don’t forget the financial reason too. At this event\, we’ll explore the benefits of designing events with sustainability in mind\, in a way that makes financial sense. We’ll lay out the steps to build a business case to convince your organizations leaders to initiate sustainability initiatives for your events and venues by using food waste in Baltimore\, MD as an example. \nOur panel for the PCMA Chesapeake May 2020 Educational Event on Sustainability\, comes from the Baltimore area and spoke on this topic at the 2020 PCMA Convening Leaders meeting. In this session you’ll learn the relationship between sustainability practices and business objectives\, learn how to build a business case for adding sustainability practices\, and learn how to collect data that can demonstrate the benefits and cost of incorporating sustainability. \nOur panel for this webinar are: \nMac Campbell – Deputy Director\, Baltimore Convention Center\nChuck Schlagenauf– Director of Operations\, Centerplate Catering\nAurora Benton – Founder\, Astrapto\nSheila LeMaster – Vice President of Exhibitor Sales\, GES \nRegistration Now Open!

SUMMARY:Communicating Quality: How to Interact Successfully with Clients\, Guests\, and Vendors
DESCRIPTION:Communicating Quality: How to Interact Successfully with Clients\, Guests\, and Vendors\nTuesday\, June 5\, 2019 \n5 pm – 8 pm \nMisunderstandings\, miscommunications\, missed opportunities. Clients who can’t make up their minds. Guests who have unreasonable demands\, last second. Vendors who promise one thing but deliver something else\, or not at all. Have you had these headaches? I’m betting you have. You work hard. You think on your feet. You pull miracles out of hats on a regular basis. But the above all-too-frequent occurrences make your job harder than it has to be. \nWhat if you could get to the bottom of your clients needs faster? What if you anticipated your guests’ needs as if by magic? What if your communication with vendors made snafus a thing of the past? It’s possible. The interaction techniques you’ll survey at Communicating Quality will help you start. You will improve your communication\, interaction\, and negotiation skills. \nAttendee Outcomes \n\nIdentify client\, guest\, and vendor communication styles and needs quickly through a variety of listening and interaction techniques.\nSurvey mirroring skills to improve idea generation and creative problem-solving.\nBuild perception skills about what clients really want by going deeper into their subconscious clues and stories.\nImprove negotiations through proven\, effective interaction techniques.\n\nIzolda Trakhtenberg\nBorn in Moldova\, Izolda communicated in multiple languages through the year-long immigration process. She learned leadership skills while living in a war zone.
