Keynote Session - Resilience in the Face of Burnout: Four Steps to Finding Equilibrium in the Pursuit of Success
Meeting and event planning has always been stressful. Difficult clients with high expectations, tight deadlines, schedule changes, and long hours, play havoc with work/life balance, threatening our mental and physical health on the daily.
Incredibly, 79% of event professionals consider their jobs more stressful today than before the pandemic [IBTM]. But what can we do? Is there a way to reduce the stress we feel to side-step burnout, or is compromised mental and physical health just something we must accept as being part of the job we love?
Join burnout and well-being specialist, Julian Reeve, as he guides us through his methodology, Perfect Equilibrium®. You’ll learn the quickest way to re-set and find clarity in stressful moments, together with a host of scientifically backed practices and techniques to keep you healthy, focused, and efficient in your work.

Community Outreach Children's Book Drive
Please bring a book or two and all books collected at the book drive will go to the Children’s Book Bank at SMART Reading.
The Children's Book Bank fills homes and lives with engaging, culturally diverse books because all children deserve to have books of their own. When they do, magical things happen — books ignite curiosity, spark the imagination, and open young minds to limitless possibilities.
Do you remember your favorite childhood book? What do you enjoy reading with your kids, grandkids, younger siblings, nieces/nephews, or favorite little neighbor?
BOOKS NEEDED:
- This year, there is a high need for picture books and board books aimed at young students (preschool/Kindergarten and younger). Rule of thumb – board books, and picture books that have no more than a paragraph of text per page.
- Other books and topics that are always in need are:
- Varied Family Structure (adoptive families, stepfamilies, two moms or dads, single parent, kids raised by grandparents/other relatives, parent in prison)
- Biracial/Multiracial
- Neurodivergent (books about autistic kids, kids with ADHD, or other neurodivergent characters, especially non-white neurodivergent characters)
- We can only accept new or gently used children’s books for babies through preschoolers – board books, and picture books with no more than a paragraph of text per page.
- We are unable to find homes for musty/damaged or scribbled-in books, coloring or activity books, encyclopedias, textbooks, ex-library books, and chapter books.
