The CEO of IMEX Group, Carina Bauer, recently included Wellness as one of her top meeting trends for 2016 (and rightfully so). Implementing wellness programs can positively impact the physical, cognitive, and social wellness of your attendees.

In the past, corporate meetings and conferences have carried a somewhat stale connotation – enclosed, windowless rooms, long periods of inactivity, and eating options that were far from healthy. Thankfully, the wellness trend is becoming more of an M&C expectation as the options for wellness in meetings and conventions continue to grow.

Wellness accommodations should be one of your priorities when choosing a destination for your meeting. Park City makes it easy to implement wellness into your meeting and destination with numerous activities, restaurants, social settings, and crisp mountain air.

Socializing & Networking Well

Team building opportunities can benefit the performance of your groups by removing the traditional boundaries between work and play.

They can help attendees socialize and network more easily, making for a more motivating and successful meeting and driving the results for which your company is aiming.

Park City’s recreational activities, restaurants, spacious venues and team-building opportunities can improve your meeting experience and ensure that your meeting drives the results your company needs. Remember, “All’s well that ends well.” Plan a meeting or conference that, when it’s all said and done, will leave your attendees… WELL!
