SUMMARY:April Education Program - Spokane
DESCRIPTION:Becoming Trusted: Building Trust In Our Increasingly Skeptical World \nTrust is the foundation of human relationships and the key to success in today’s business environment. Yet\, as a society\, we are in a crisis of trust on a global scale. To become trusted today\, you now must first prove that you are worthy of trust. But how? \nDrawing on more than sixty years of research in cognitive science and consumer behavior\, this engaging and insightful presentation uncovers the hidden truths behind the often-misunderstood concept of trust. It explains exactly how people form trusting relationships and why the conventional approach to building trust actually makes it harder to become trusted in our modern world. You’ll discover practical tips and strategies to quickly become trusted with others so you can perform and lead at your best. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand how trust has changed in our society and how this change affects the way trust now works\n Learn exactly what trust is (and what it’s not) and why we often unintentionally make it harder for others to trust us\nDiscover the process people use to assess another’s trustworthiness and how you can make it easier (and quicker!) for others to give you credit for being trustworthy\n\nKevin Sanders has spent more than 25 years in marketing\, including senior-level roles and consulting in financial services\, hospitality\, higher education\, high tech\, healthcare\, and foodservice. He is currently the CMO for a technology startup. Kevin believes trust is the foundation of all great companies\, organizations and institutions. However\, he also believes that trust is at an all-time low in our culture\, society and in our world. In this new world where skepticism is now the default\, businesses need to prove trustworthiness if they want to attract clients and thrive in our current society.\n \n  \n \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\nThursday\, April 18th\n11:30am -1:30pm \nDavenport Grand Hotel\nSpokane\, WA \nAGENDA\n11:30am – Registration/Networking\n12:00pm – Lunch\n12:30pm – Presentation\n1:30pm – Conclusion \nREGISTRATION\nMeeting Planners – $25.00\nMembers – $50.00\nNon-Members – $65.00\nStudents – Complimentary *Valid Student ID Required \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCMP Approval:\nEarn 1.0 clock hour toward your CMP certification or re-certification by attending this Education Session.  Credits will appear in your Events Industry Council Profile. \n  \nMeeting Planner Travel Stipend Available\nGuidelines: \n\nMax reimbursement is $150.00.\nMust be a Meeting Planner that is a PCMA Member.\nOne planner per a company/org will qualify\, if funds are still available others from the same company/org could be considered.\nPlanner must be registered for the program.

SUMMARY:Thriving in Uncertainty Education Program -SPOKANE
DESCRIPTION:Thriving in Uncertainty \n If the past few years have taught us anything\, it is that we can’t control what is going to happen\, but we can control our response to it. Exponential changes in technology combined with accelerated trends\, economic factors and mixed with shifts in behaviors all make for a complicated and unstable environment. The playbooks we’ve used no longer work as well; and the expectations of our audiences\, our partners\, and our organizations are higher than ever. Those who are waiting for things to go back to how they were\, will be left behind. The successful ones will learn how to look at the world differently\, measure risk in new ways\, and create flexible systems\, leaving them prepared to face whatever may come.  \nIn this invitation-only session\, Beth Surmont\, Vice President of Event Strategy & Design for 360 Live Media\, will share perspective on new event trends\, changing audience behaviors\, and how you can best prepare your team to manage uncertainty and position your organization for success.  \nLearner Outcomes:  \n• Learn new tools that will help you future-proof your organization  \n• Network with peers and share first-hand stories of lessons learned  \n• Walk away prepared to make smarter decisions for your events \n\n\n\n\n\n11:30am – 12:00pm – Registration/Networking\n12:00pm – Lunch/Networking\n12:30pm – Education Program\n1:30pm – Program Adjourns\n\n\n\n\n\nComplimentary Registration for Meeting Planners\, $50.00 Registration for Suppliers \n \nDiscounted Guest Room Block at the Davenport Grand \nStart Date: Wednesday\, September 17\, 2025 \nEnd Date: Thursday\, September 18\, 2025 \nLast Day to Book : Saturday\, August 16\, 2025 \nRate: $199.00 \nRESERVE TODAY:  Reservation-Link \nBeth Surmont CAE\, CMP Vice President\, Event Strategy & Design 360 Live Media \nBio: Beth Surmont is an event strategist who works with associations and non-profits to help them redesign\, reinvent\, and reinvigorate their events.
