What Was Once a Necessity is Now So Much More
By Christina Hake, CMP, California Head Start Association
When I originally obtained my CMP (Certified
Meeting Professional) it was out of a pressing
need to learn more about the meetings industry
as quickly as possible. My Executive Director was
leaving our association and the responsibility of
managing our events had been delegated to me. I
had been an event coordinator for 3 years and was
well versed in the administrative duties but I had
never managed an entire event on my own.
I soon learned of the CMP through my MPI and
PCMA memberships. It became apparent this was
the quickest and most affordable method to gain
knowledge and credibility in my new position. With
100% support from my new E.D. I began this exciting endeavor. Within the year I had passed my
CMP exam. What I thought was a necessity in order to do my job ended up being so much more.
Earning the CMP provided me with the confidence boost needed to fulfill my pressing job duties.
Now, I feel assured that I’m on the right track when I take on higher level tasks including contract
negotiations, speaker/education recruitment, sponsorships, A/V requests, F&B ordering and much
more.
While studying for the exam I acquired a great number of resources including study guides and
manuals. The most important resource has been all of the other planners that were on this journey
with me. Studying for the CMP created an abundance of opportunities for me to network with my
peers and create lifelong relationships with both novice and seasoned planners. These relationships
not only serve as guidance now but can also provide assistance with my possible growth in the
industry.
Having a credential that is recognized globally by both planners and the hospitality industry
reminds me that the work that I do is crucial in advancing the mission of my association. What once
felt like a job now feels like a career. Prior to earning my CMP I was unaware of how vital face to face
meetings are for the local and the global economy. Now, I realize this is a profession that is only
growing larger and I’m excited to be a part of it.
With this new found confidence and network of peers I hope to continue moving forward with
my career in the meetings industry. Next to my college degree, getting the CMP is one of the best
choices I have made academically in my adult life.

FEBRUARY EDucation Highlight
The Four C’s of Audience Engagement
By Shawna Suckow, CMP
There are two huge challenges facing our industry right now. The first is
audience engagement (I won’t go into the second one here, but just in case
you’re curious, it’s the toxic RFP environment).
How do we engage today’s audiences of multi-tasking, device-addicted,
short-attention-spanned people? Our entire culture has evolved in the past
few years, so that we feel we must be multi-tasking, or we’re slacking off.
Gone are the days when we can fill a whole conference with one lecture
after another, or people will simply check out mentally and recede into the
comfort of their smart phones. Or worse yet, walk out of sessions and hang
out in the hallways with like-minded lecture refugees. Or worst of all, stop
coming to our conferences altogether!
I want to back up to look at the fundamental reasons we have conferences. It’s been on my mind lately,
so I’ve posed this question to audiences all over North America, and the answers always fall into four key
categories, which I call “The Four C’s.” Stick with me to the end, though, because although you may nod
your head in agreement, I’d like to take the discussion a step further, and challenge all planners out there to
engage their audiences better in each category.
These are The Four C’s:
Community. Networking is often the number one reason people come to conferences and events.
Celebration. Recognizing the accomplishments of ourselves, our peers, and our industry is one of the other
main reasons why we congregate. It’s no fun celebrating alone.
Collaboration. Some have argued that ‘content’ should be one of the C’s, but I don’t believe content is as
meaningful without collaboration. If it were just about the content, we would just stay home and watch
webinars or read books. It’s coming together for the shared learning experience that makes a conference
meaningful.
Changing lives. In big ways and small, ALL meetings change their participants. Whether it’s meeting
someone new, learning something that can ease frustration at work, or coming across a new idea that sparks
change for mankind, meetings change lives – there’s no denying it.
Here’s the Four C’s Challenge: once you’ve identified your conference’s goals and objectives, I put forth that
you then focus on the four C’s and how you can engage your participants differently.

FEBRUARY EDucation Highlight - CONTINUED
The Four C’s of Audience Engagement
Continued from Page 10
1.
How will you foster a sense of Community? Most conferences and events just schedule free time
and rely on attendees to network organically. I believe that we need to do better these days. With the
convergence of four generations, the lure of our devices, and diversity of participants that always include
newcomers and introverts, it’s harder than ever to meet new people. Planners can be strategic in providing
ways for participants to connect with others throughout the conference by creating deliberately structured
networking opportunities. These are always appreciated by the first-time attendees and introverts.
2.
How will you build Celebration into your event in a more engaging way? Think of the last awards
ceremony you attended – it’s painfully boring for everyone but the winners. We can do better.
3.
How will you foster better Collaboration at your conference? Ask each speaker how they will
engage the audience, and what percentage of their session is collaborative – I mean truly collaborative.
Don’t settle for anything less than one third. Every session, unless it’s a strict download of information,
can be collaborative. The speaker just needs to relinquish the power to the audience for table discussions,
small group analysis, Q&A, facilitated audience response, or other formats. I wonder if people truly want
lectures and traditional keynotes these days, or if they’d rather prefer a strong message wrapped in an
opportunity to really connect with one another. Where there’s collaboration in sessions, participants truly
can create their own outcome. Would you rather leave success in the hands of just one speaker, or share
the responsibility with every single participant at the conference? When they are invested in their own
outcome, everyone is more engaged.
4.
Of course, there are all sorts of ways to Change lives through our conferences via CSR activities. I
always encourage a Corporate Social Responsibility aspect at every conference. What I’m talking about,
though, is changing the lives of our own attendees. If we can provide the opportunities for Community,
Celebration and Collaboration, we virtually guarantee that every single participant will walk away a changed
person.
Not every conference is solving world hunger or addressing the debt crisis, but if we can serve up the simple
elements that every conference participant seeks, we change every person’s life who walks through our
doors. I’d have to say that’s a worthy outcome.
Please plan on joining MPISSN on Tuesday, February 10, 2015
Devices Down! How to Keep Your Audience Fully Engaged!
Presented by Shawna Suckow, CMP
Today’s audiences need to be highly engaged — immediately — or they will tune out. Presenters are
competing for the attention of demanding attendees who have low tolerance for talking heads, short
attention spans, and the considerable diversions of their phones and other devices. In this session,
Shawna Suckow, CMP, will discuss how the evolution of technology, our culture and our generations
have led to changes in how education needs to be structured to meet attendees’ needs.

Volunteers of the Quarter
By Jeff Dougherty, Sacramento Convention and Visitors Bureau
Our Volunteer of the quarter is not a person, but a team. The Social Media
Team! Social media is one of those volunteer opportunities that is behind
the scenes and does not typically see very much recognition. Co-Chaired
by Kimber Chavez, UC Davis Health System Eye Center and Past MPISSN
President, Larry Jacinth, CMP with UC Davis Health System, the team has
increased our Facebook likes by more than 300% over the past two years and
have begun to focus on Twitter and LinkedIn. Kimber and Larry volunteered
for this role with no social media experience. They wanted to learn more
about running a successful social media campaign so that they could
implement this new found knowledge back to their “real jobs”. Rounding
out our team and new to our chapter this year is Anna Swanson, Conference
Marketing Coordinator for the League of California Cities.
VP of Communications, Jenn Wheaton had this to say about her team:
“Kimber and Larry have done a great job over the last two years learning about
using social media effectively and applying that to the MPISSN social media
channels. The have really taken our Chapter’s social media presence to the next
level. Anna joined the team this year and our Facebook page is stronger than
ever. The three of them have been dedicated to this Chapter and have really
proven to be important members of the communications team. I couldn’t do it
all without their help and dedication!”

Tidbits
Business Travelers:
According to a new BridgeStreet report, many business travelers are unsure whether it is ok to combine
leisure trips with business trips. Fourteen percent of business travelers said they are aware of a company
policy on the issue, while 59 percent said there is no policy and 27 percent aren’t sure if there was a policy.
Although uncertain, a whopping 83 percent say they use time on business trips to explore cities they are
visiting. Another 60 percent said they’ve taken a “bleisure” trip (blending leisure and business) with half
adding up to two vacation days to the business trip. Fifty-four percent of travelers also bring their families
along. Skift, 10/22/14
Meeting Planners:
Hilton Worldwide has launched a new online resource for meeting planners. Idea Network features articles,
advice and tips designed to inspire meeting professionals. The site is organized into four sections focusing
on creating experience, driving results, building connections and doing it all responsibly. Successful

Tuesday Atop the Tower with MPI and Stuckrath
By Rich Heitke, CMP, CGMP, J. Burton and Associates, Inc.
The Sacramento Sierra Nevada chapter of MPI met in the Capitol Room on the top floor of the Hyatt Regency
Sacramento on Tuesday, November 18. If you haven’t been, the view from this room affords a dramatic
vantage above the state capitol and downtown. The Hyatt staff was gracious and welcoming from the
general manager to servers. We got early insider news that the Hyatt, a 27,000 square feet of meeting space
property, is creating a Regency Club high up in their tower which will be a really nice amenity.
Tracy Stuckrath, CSEP, CMM, CHC, CFPM of thrive! meetings & events, delivered, “Serve This Not That!”, an
interactive presentation on food allergies and their effects on people and the conduct of events. Shockingly,
eight allergens, including peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, milk, wheat, crustaceans, and soy account for 90%
of all food allergies. U.S. food labeling is beginning to alert consumers the presence of these eight allergens,
but if you hold meetings in Europe fourteen allergens are featured. One can no longer merely assume that
serving seminar chicken to 95% of your attendees with an allowance for 5% vegetarians accommodates
individual dietary needs. All who attended the MPISSN meeting are now much more familiar with the major
special needs diets such as Vegan, Paleo, Pescetarian, Kosher, Fruitarian, Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian and more.
Tracy described eight strategies for meeting professionals to follow to meet attendee’s needs. Some may
seem like common sense in their first sentences, but all provide thoughtful and logical guidance (Reference
them at www.thrivemeetings.com.) For very large events with many dietary needs represented planners are
even bringing on dietary consultants.
Meeting dietary needs is not merely catering to food preferences. The ADA dictates a measure of
responsibility upon the group to accommodate dietary needs. Not doing so can be not only discriminatory
but also increase a planner’s liability.
The meeting was sponsored by the Wyndham Anaheim/Garden Grove, formerly a Crowne Plaza.
Representing Wyndham was Monty Criss, Director of Group Sales.
Monty proudly described big changes being undertaken at his
property such as lobby renovation.
