September Chapter Meeting

As meeting professionals, we’re constantly leading—whether it’s guiding a team, managing vendors, or facilitating conversations between clients and partners. But leadership today isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about asking better questions that draw out ideas, build trust, and strengthen collaboration.

In this interactive session, we’ll explore how shifting from “direct and tell” to “ask and elevate” can transform the way you lead meetings, manage teams, and engage stakeholders. You’ll learn how curiosity-driven leadership fuels creativity, reduces conflict, and leads to smoother, more productive partnerships with suppliers, venues, and clients alike.

This won’t be a lecture—it’s an active, engaging experience. You’ll participate in quick reflections and small group discussions designed to get you thinking about how you show up as a leader and communicator. Through real-world examples and stories from the field, you’ll see how powerful questions can unlock collaboration and clarity in even the most complex event-planning environments.
