Something that often comes to my attention is how difficult it can be for people to hear each other at events—even on a good day and without a DJ or loud speaker next to them!  

Absolutely take this into consideration when planning where to put people—seat those who want to talk (and hear) further away from the loudspeakers and music. 

How many of your guests have mobility challenges or need frequent access to the restroom? Do you have anyone who has sensory or audio processing issues? How about very tall people, or the inverse, and the effects those have on sight lines? 

Traditionally, people are seated according to their position in business or in a family. Make sure that those people on the fringe can see and hear, too. Consider using more and smaller tables to increase interaction. A six-top is definitely more conducive to getting people to interact with each other than a 10-top or a banquet table. Although banquet tables can help people get to know their dinner partners, it can be a long, arduous evening if they can’t (or won’t) communicate! Half-moon tables are an interesting solution, and don’t underestimate the effects of mixing various table types and sizes! Look at some of the ways you can facilitate meaningful, memorable, and creative interactions at your event. Enhance everyone’s enjoyment of the entire experience by creating thoughtful seating.

A little recap from the May Education Luncheon & Networking Event.

We spent the day connecting and learning about the future of meetings, AI, and innovation in the events industry. It was great hearing from keynote speaker .borelli of Zenus.AI.

Swipe through for a few moments from the event 👏

I pounded the pavement on my lunch breaks, seeing how many auditions I could do.

Made it into a game.

When I was a kid, I got thrown from my horse (a lot). Once I was shaken up pretty badly. My mother told me to get back on.

I was scared. She made me. Said she’d been thrown once as a girl and had never ridden again.

In the saddle again.

Those auditions.
People would say (sometimes on the SAME day!): “You’re too tall.” “You’re too short.” “You’re too fat, skinny, dark, fair....”

The reasons why I wasn’t ‘it’ or ‘right’ were unending. If I had listened to them, I would’ve been ground to a pulp.

I auditioned a LOT. Every time I got told “No,” I went to another one.

The stupidest one was when they said my hair was just a little too dark, but otherwise I was perfect. “But it’s a rinse that I can wash out,” I told them. “No,” they said, “we need someone with the right hair color.”

You Are Not What They Think You Are. Remember that.
Not every room will immediately “get” you.
Not every opportunity will say ‘Yes.’
Not every opinion deserves space in your head.

But the right people will connect with what you bring.
And sometimes the most unforgettable experiences happen because someone kept showing up anyway.

What an incredible showcase at the Foundation Room at Gate City!

Between all the amazing vendors, conversations, and industry guests exploring the venue, we got to spend the evening providing Autograph Readings and Lip Print Readings throughout the event.

Big thank you to everyone who stopped by our table 🤍
