New Ideas And New Format - Capital
theJanuary/February 2013 Vol. XXII No. 1the official newsletter of the pcma capital chapterNew Ideas and New FormatDesign, engagement, and innovation — get those criticalelements right, and you can expect dynamic meetings.Learn how from PCMA’s Convening Leaders 2013.“The goal was to create four smaller luncheons within a largerspace,” Peacy said, “and learn whether this luncheon designmade a huge luncheon feel manageably smaller for diners.”“We demonstrated various uses of space design andmeeting design, different ways to engage attendees with ourmeeting content and each other, innovative approaches informatting the meeting, and new ideas for doing the samethings,” said Kelly Peacy, CAE, CMP, PCMA’s senior vicepresident of educationand meetings. “Whatour education comesdown to is helping ourattendees find ways tomake their meetingsvaluable and relevantto their constituents.”The Show Reimagined Networking Luncheon on Tuesdaywas an experiential learning luncheon with food stations setup throughout the exhibit hall. An assortment of educationaltopics emerged during 15-minute presentations of casestudies, demonstrations, and peer-to-peer exchanges, allrevolving aroundexhibit and trade-showmanagement. “Theidea,” Peacy said, “wasto encourage attendeesto reimagine the exhibitfloor and what can bedone differently.”Convening Leadersis famous forleading by example.Two key eventsthat demonstrateddesign, engagement,and innovationare the CelebratePCMA Luncheon and the Show Reimagined NetworkingLuncheon.“It’s importantfor attendees tounderstand that whatthey see at our meetingis an experiment thatmay or may not work,”Peacy said. “We takethe risks so that ourattendees don’t have to. We take risks in terms of mealfunctions and how we structure and format education.Attendees expect us to do that for them. The meeting is alarge petri dish of ideas that sometimes take root and grow.Other times, the ideas just don’t work, and that’s okay aslong as we have learned why.” “The Celebrate PCMA Luncheon on Monday was anexperiment in space design and food-and-beverage,” Peacysaid. “The luncheon space was configured into four separateexperiences, all centered on a main stage. Hundreds ofattendees were seated in those four sections, with differentstyles of service and different foods served.”A version of this article appeared in the PCMA Daily, the official publication ofConvening Leaders 2013, published by the Professional Convention ManagementAssociation.

These are just some of the areascovered by the newly tuned ConveningLeaders.Having just returned from Orlando, I’m invigorated andexcited about the upcoming year both from a personalperspective and from a Chapter perspective. Based on ChapterPresident, Kirsten Olean’s vision for 2013, we can take thesenewly acquired ideas and incorporate them into developingprograms that are relevant, compelling and critical to thefuture of our Chapter and industry. Though fewer in number,our Community Service projects will allow more membersto give back to the community while networking. Chaptereducation programs will be more impactful and timely.Convening Leaders inspired, engaged, and allowed us to shareour perspectives, our knowledge, and ideas. I hope all thosethat attended share with their staff, members and clients.Please share what you learned with other Chapter members,and let’s keep the buzz going!For those unable to attend, there are plenty of ways to seeand hear some of the world-class education by visiting the retooled website at www.pcma.org. Be sure to avail yourself ofeverything PCMA has to offer. Have a great year!
Attending Convening Leaders from the Comfort of my Cubicle throughPCMA 365As planners, we understand the value of face-to-face meetings. There’s no better way to build relationships, both businessand personal, than by talking to a colleague in person. Though I was unable to attend Convening Leaders in Orlando thisyear, attending virtually via PCMA 365 was the next best thing to being in the general session room alongside hundreds ofmy industry colleagues.Similar to an attendee in Orlando, virtual attendees had access to a full scheduleof online education prior to the start of the conference, making it easy to selectsessions of interest and schedule them into your day. Once logged into thesystem, the virtual world is extremely easy to navigate with a channel guideand a specific events channel that streamed sessions from Convening Leaders.While listening to a Webcast, a virtual attendee could interact with other onlineattendees via a chat page. Virtual attendees who attended all scheduled sessionsreceived 1.2 CEU credits towards their CMP certification.“While listening to a Webcast, avirtual attendee could interact withother online attendees via a chatpage.”My favorite presenter was Thomas Friedman, New York Times columnist and author of The World is Flat; That Used to BeUs. Mr. Friedman discussed globalization and online connectedness including the way a college student in America couldnow watch the Syrian revolution live from the safety of their home computer. He ended his presentation by discussing fivekey factors to success moving forward in a world that is increasingly connected, including always being “a work in progress”through professional development and “finding your extra” that sets you apart.Though I did miss the 80-degree temperatures in Orlando, I didn’t miss out on education or networking over the course ofConvening Leaders.Interested in viewing a keynote or general session in Orlando?

Making Healthy Menus a Reality for yourMeetings“Selling Change: How to Make Healthy Menus a Reality” was a topicdiscussed at this year’s Convening Leaders in Orlando, Florida. Theconversation centered on healthy food and how we can convince ourstakeholders that healthy eating is important.Though providing healthy menu options can significantly improve thequality of your meeting, change can be difficult. Does this sound familiar?Keep in Contact with PCMA!Update your PCMA CapitalChapter membership record atwww.pcma.org/connect-andgrow/chapters/capital It’s expensive; I can’t afford to serve healthy food.Talk to your CSM and find out what other meetings are in house at the same time. See if the other groups would beinterested in a similar menu; this way the chef can purchase food in bulk. Work with your CSM and chef to sourcefresh, local, organic, sustainable and seasonal (FLOSS) food. Finally, talk to your chef about portion control. My attendees like my menus.Offer more options; add a lean protein to the standard continental breakfast. By giving attendees options, the choice istheirs. My group has too many dietary constraints.A great way to address this issue and provide choice is to deconstruct your meals. Rather than serve a premixed Caesarsalad, provide everything separately. That way, if your attendees are allergic to something they can still have the saladand just leave out what they cannot eat. The venue has menus, those are my only options.Do your homework; talk to your CSM and chef, share some of your ideas and your budget and then let them go towork. Ask what healthy menus have worked for other clients in the past and tell them about the menus that haveworked for your group previously.It’s all about doing your research and providing alternatives. If we communicate with our internal and external stakeholders,providing healthy meal options to our attendees is possible. chatter 02/13by Elizabeth Dean, MTA, Conference Coordinator, Nuclear Energy Institute4

PCMA Business Schooltook place in a dedicated lecture theater limited to 160 participants with top speakers in the business realm. The focus was tosharpen business skills and advance meeting management skills through a series of lectures. Sessions focused on marketing,strategy, finance, management and communication.Most of the sessions could apply to any senior executive, manager, or line staff that wishes to lead positive changes in theirorganization. The classes provided new perspectives and prepared us for the year ahead. Attendees of the Business Schoolreceived key actions to implement back at the office.Richard Hadden, co-author of Contented Cows, discussed “Bottom LineLeadership,” which promotes leaders to further engage and inspire their employeeswho in turn will further engage customers. Richard suggests making “consistent,effective leadership skills and behavior an absolute requirement for everyone ina management position.” Richard had good humor, clear examples, and detailedtakeaways to help planners and suppliers improve leadership effectiveness.“Convening Leaders 2013 hasnailed it with the PCMA BusinessSchool track.”by Tanya Barrett, CMP, Manager, Meeting Services, U.S. PharmacopeiaConvening Leaders in ReviewCapital Chapter member Carson Edwards, Jr., MBA, CASE, appreciated the new format of education. “PCMA ConveningLeaders 2013 nailed it with the PCMA Business School track. There was no better example of PCMA offering relevant andcutting edge education than the “Changing Demographics & the Impact to Business Today and Tomorrow” with KellyMcDonald. Kelly suggested associations and businesses use untapped marketing information from the 2010 U.S. Census todevelop marketing strategies and create common sense approaches to develop a comprehensive understanding about thepresent and future American population. Thank you PCMA for providing supplier partners with 21st continuing education.” 5
EMERGING PROFESSIONALSJames Madison University Students Gain Valuable Experience byAttending Convening LeadersJames Madison University PCMA Student Chapter looks forward to attendingConvening Leaders every year as it gives students the opportunity to network withindustry professionals, attend educational sessions, visit exciting cities, and return withmeaningful learning experiences.This year, 10 members attended PCMA Orlando thanks to the support from our Schoolof Hospitality Department and many fundraising activities directed by our studentchapter. Half of the group was a first-timer and a few were two-time, even three-timeattendees! Our chapter president, Michelle Moulden, received a Convening LeadersStudent Scholarship and was awarded complimentary registration, up to four nights ofhousing, and airport transfers.Convening Leaders offered many opportunities for students including a photo contest, fashion show, and student focusedseminars. On the first day, the first group of four students to get 10 pictures from the conference on Instagram received 150towards a professional business suit. Four JMU students actively engaged in the challenge won the Instagram contest! Inaddition, many JMU members participated in the fashion show modeling what is appropriate and inappropriate to wear toan interview while being judged by a panel of industry professionals.Student Union sessions provided tips on entering the industry as a young professional. We learned resume and cover letteretiquette, networking tips, building our brand through social media, preparing for interviews, the importance of handwrittenthank you cards, and so much more! We plan to compile and present our notes at the next chapter general body meetingto pass on all of the valuable information. We are so thankful for such generous support from the Student Union, ourJMU Hospitality department, and everything PCMA has provided to our students.

As a recent grad, Iknow how intimidating it can be to enter a room of industryveterans and begin networking. By inviting the students andemerging professionals to a “Pre-Reception”, they had theopportunity to meet industry professionals in an intimatesetting and use these connections to network further at thechapter reception. On Sunday afternoon, we had a chanceto enjoy the wonderful weather and tropical drinks by thepool. The event was a great success and I would like to thankall the committee members, students, and my colleagues forattending.Prior to the conference, I reviewed the schedule of sessionsand program book to pre-select sessions that were of interestto me. I selected a mix of sessions on personal development,industry trends, and attendee experience/learning. One of myfavorite sessions, entitled “Gamification: Turning Attendeesinto Participants”, outlined ways to make a successful gamefor your conference by focusing on content, making the prizedesirable, and keeping it simple, yet challenging. As a result,I participated in the PCMA game by scanning QR Codesposted at the various educational and networking events intothe conference app and saw firsthand how it can enhance theconference experience.I look forward to using what I have learned at this conferencein my career and am thankful to the PCMA Capital Chapterfor this opportunity! by Mindy Halpert,Program Coordinator, The Optical SocietyThe GENERATION MEET BLOGis now live!If you are interested in writing a post orwould like to share information aboutan opportunity for students or emergingprofessionals, please contact MindyHalpert at mhalpert@osa.org.Platinum Sponsorship July 25, 2013 education program & networking event at 8,000 Speaker series sponsor for all three educationalprograms at 9,000 New Signature Networking Event (October) at 8,000 Three venue locations for Education programs (March,July, October)Gold Sponsorship Two venue locations for Planner workshops (April andSeptember)Bronze Sponsorship December 5 Capital Classroom for 3,000 Three speaker sponsors for the educational programs at 3,000 each Two venue locations (August and December)Board Retreat Sponsor June/July retreat for 1800 Two venue locations (June/July and October 25)Other Sponsorship Options: EPC Webinar: February 21 at 650 Faculty Membership Scholarship Fund at 500(unlimited quantity) University Outreach Program at 250 (unlimitedquantity) Advertising Opportunities in the chapter publications,The Chatter (10 issues) and What’s New, What’s Next(electronic newsletter)In addition, with the new Signature Networking eventplanned for October, as well as the “reinvention” of theAnnual Meeting in November, keep an eye out for additionalopportunities with these programs.

Capital Chapter Member SpotlightsSpotlight on a SupplierSpotlight on a PlannerPam Sherfesee, CDME, Vice President of Sales, Vicki Johnson, Principal, Vicki Johnson &Colorado Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau Associates, LLCPam joined PCMA when she began workingfor the Colorado Springs CVB. She reachedout to PCMA for help with a marketingplan, and she found the organization andthe people to be great resources. These aresome of the reasons that she is celebrating20 years of being an active PCMA member.To Pam, PCMA is a hands-on way to keep up with industrytrends and to work with a diverse group of people. Pamarrived in the hospitality industry via the theatrical industry.During her tenure with Up with People, she spent time inMexico working with her cast. She got to know the staffand owners of the hotel in Mexico City, and the passionand excitement of the industry hooked her. It still keeps herinterested to this day.Pam was honored to represent Wyoming in the Miss USApageant, where her fellow contestants voted her MissCongeniality and awarded her a trip to Perth, Australia forthe Miss Universe Pageant. In 2010, Pam earned her CDME(Certified Destination Marketing Executive) Certification. Itwas one of her proudest industry moments since it challengedher to get out of just sales, and look at the inner workings ofa CVB, its stakeholders and politicians. In her spare time,Pam and her husband love to spend time outdoors enjoyingall that Colorado has to offer, including hiking, nature,gardening, and cooking. chatter 02/13by Catherine A. Chenevey, CMP,Senior Event Manager, American Institute ofAeronautics and Astronautics8When I spoke to Vicki this past December,the characteristic that stood out the most isthat she is constantly thinking about others,even during the busy holiday season.This past December, she hosted her 2ndAnnual Clothing Drive in conjunction withStrive DC to help provide business attireto disadvantaged job seekers throughout the metropolitanWashington, DC area. “I can’t imagine anything moregratifying since we all have so much. It is nice to purge yourcloset of unwanted items and know you are helping someonefeel good about themselves,” said Vicki.Other interesting facts: Vicki has owned her company, Vicki Johnson &Associates, LLC, for over seven years and has been inthe industry for more than 28 years. Vicki is very active with the American SuicideFoundation and serves as a member on their NationalCapital Chapter Board. She has an extensive collection (or obsession) of shoes. Vicki loves to cook and has a collection of over 1500cookbooks and magazines. Her two BFF’s are Peanut, a four-year-old mix of beagleand rottweiler, and of course her 34-year-old son. by La Shawn Dunbar,Meeting Specialist, American Nurses Association
Making a Difference! PCMAAttendees Give Back duringConvening LeadersPCMA is known for community-based CSR programs, andConvening Leaders participants had several options to givemake a positive impact in Orlando.Early Saturday morning, two groups of Hospitality HelpingHands (HHH) attendees had the opportunity to benefit theCoalition for the Homeless of Central Florida, which shelters750 men, women, children, and a growing number of familiesnightly. The Coalition works to end homelessness by providingthe tools needed to reestablish productive lives.Before sunrise a bus of 100 PCMA members arrived, filledwith such enthusiasm that they far exceeded the Coalition’sexpectations of what could be completed in just a few hours.Shelter manager Marty Vevera never dreamed that he PCMAcrew could paint the front and part of the back of the building,assemble hygiene and baby wipe bags, and sort and box anenormous closet of donated clothes. Other volunteers servedbreakfast to the shelters overnight guests. This work, plusPCMA’s check for 4,000 , definitely left a lasting imprint onthe Coalition.EscapE, connEct,ExcitE, and REvivE-mEEt at mgm gRand dEtRoit.When you need to get down to business, nobodyhelps you do so better than the professionals atMGM Grand Detroit.Contact 877.MGM.EVNT (646.3868)or send your RFP to sales@det.mgmgrand.commgmgranddetroit.com mlife.comLive the M life at this MGM Resorts International Destination 2013 MGM Grand DetroitNext door at Clean the World, volunteers prepared more than1,850 hygiene kits – nearly twice the number expected! – which were then donated to the Coalition for the Homeless.Founded in 2009, Clean the World collects soap and lightly used bottled amenities from more than 1,600 hotels across thecountry and redistributes them to people in need. Each kit contained a new bar of soap, razor, toothbrush, and toothpastealong with a donated shampoo, conditioner, and lotion.In addition to the two HHH programs, PCMA attendees could visit the CSR Lounge to assemble baskets of school suppliesfor teachers using supplies donated by other attendees. Baskets filled with notebooks, paper, pencils, and art supplies will bedonated to A Gift For Teaching, providing free supplies to teachers serving high-need classrooms.Monday evening’s Party with a Purpose raised funds for the PCMA Education Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs of CentralFlorida, and PCMA’s Network for the Needy.

Capital Chapter Kicks Off PCMAAnnual MeetingSo many of my associates share the feeling that the new yeartruly doesn’t begin until we return from the PCMA AnnualMeeting. And let’s not forget that the PCMA Annual Meetingdoesn’t really begin until the Capital Chapter Reception! Thisyear, Orlando opened up to greet us with magnificent 80 degreeweather and sunshine, a sight that could only be over shadowedby the opportunity to spend the early evening hours of Sundaywith a capacity crowd of 500 of our Mid Atlantic colleaguesenjoying food, drinks and networking. Hilton Orlando set thestage for another fabulous welcome reception.The 50/50 raffle raised 500.00 and our Capital Chaptermembers made it possible to give 250.00 to the PCMAEducation Foundation.None of this would have been possible without our generoussponsors. A big “thank you” goes out to the Hilton Orlando,Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista, and Team San Jose for agreat start to three successful days of education, receptions, andnetworking!It always amazes me that no matter how many PCMA AnnualMeetings I attend, the Capital Chapter reception is always anopportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues, but alsocome away from the event having met someone new. TheCapital Chapter sets the bar high and this year’s reception wasno exception. chatter 02/13by Gail Seawright,Director of National Accounts, Loews Ventana Canyon10Photos from 2013 PCMA Capital Chapter & Chesapeake Chapter Reception, andParty With a Purpose chuckFAZIOphotography
