Hi all - I am looking to start up interactive Zoom sessions again as I think sharing ideas and asking questions is really important. Questions are: Would you participate in these sessions, what would you like to discuss, how often is best to start (bi-weekly, monthly?), day and time options? My goal is to create an interactive community that is your go-to place for ideas, support and discussion. Share your thoughts!

Expand Your Event Horizons: 7 Ideas to Break the Mold In a world of endless Zoom fatigue and "seen it before" conferences, clients are looking for experiences, not just events. Here’s a list of unforgettable event formats you can offer: 1. Luxury Cruises for Groups. Offer all-in-one experiences with built-in entertainment, dining, and exotic locations. Great for incentive trips and exclusive client appreciation. 2. Culinary Immersion Events. Host events centered around food: private chef tastings, sommelier-led wine pairings, gourmet picnics, or competitive cooking challenges. 3. Multi-City Experiences. Design progressive itineraries where guests move between cities or regions; perfect for VIPs or brand launches seeking maximum buzz. 4. Glamping & Nature-Based Retreats. Rustic chic venues, luxury tents, firepits, yoga under the stars, these hit wellness, nature, and escape all in one. 5. Private Mansion or Estate Takeovers. Elevate status with complete buyouts of historic homes, private villas, or high-end estates for ultra-exclusive programs. 6. Interactive Location-Based Experiences. Think Amazing Race style challenges, walking cocktail tours, or art gallery crawls. Make the location part of the event’s DNA. 7. Purpose-Driven Events with Give-Back Moments.
