November 2017 Education Event - Welcome to the Participation Era of Events

As the founder, CEO and creative force behind PlayWorks Group, Meredith likes to say she plays for a living. Drawing on too many years of attending boring meetings, Meredith aims to teach others how to integrate play and fun to change snooze fest corporate meetings into interactive, participant driven experiences.In addition to consulting with meeting planners and delivering team building events, Meredith has been a panelist, speaker and blogger and is wishing desperately right now her book would write itself.

Way back in the 90’s, Meredith did her masters degree focusing on group and play dynamics. In 2002, she launched PlayWorks Group, a niche event planning firm that designs and provides live corporate team building events. In the Spring of 2016, PlayWorks Group launched its first line of digital products, offering DIY options to corporations. Meredith has presented for MPI at their World Education Congress and other chapters throughout the US. Meredith is married to Bill Hoban, partner in business and life, and is mom to Caroline and Claire and an adorable rescue dog named Olaf.
