If you were designing
a meeting planning
Olympics, what events
would you hold?
“Juggling. Meeting planners often have
to multitask and juggle priorities while always staying on their
toes.”

“Bag stuffing. Each area would include
X amount of totes or some other type of bag and insert materials --
literature, notepads, pens, lanyards, etc. Contestants would have
to stuff their bags with the materials and then organize them in a
pile at the finishing line. First one there gets the gold.”

“I would design a competition for
planning the best ‘green’ meeting as well as a competition for
planning a successful event with the shortest lead time.”
