What are some creative ways to incorporate stress management and wellness into your conference program?

Integrate stress-busting activities like mini-yoga breaks led by energetic instructors and interactive art therapy workshops to unleash creativity and emotional expression.

We have been incorporating speakers on mindfulness for coferences for years. The best speakers are qualified experts with a powerful story, lived experience and have the most up to date research on tips and tricks for mindfulness. Emotional intelligence, positive psychology and d concepts like Ikigai are fun, interactive and eye opening helping participants to connect with their thoughts and behaviours. It's a great session to open it close the conference, and it shows participants you are invested in their well being.

The activities related to the mindfulness must be embedded well in a session that people can implement, learn, implement them first and at last of the session the trainer or professional needs to elaborate the same with live examples of people present their in a very positive manner. Mindfulness must be an activity first activity as by practice it can be achieved.

The most important aspect is to see that people are people no matter what and that we understand that when people come together, they might be afraid of each other and they'll try to scare you too, so just remain calm. Continue on talk all you can talk. Explain yourself as best as you can explain yourself and try to leave peacefully. Be gentle as a dove, but be wise as a serpent. Because they might be afraid and you've got to be wise enough to see that. And how do you handle it? That's where it wisdom and gentleness as a plan comes in to play.

Conferences create an exiting opportunity to exchange ideas, learn something new, expand one's horizon - but sometimes they can be an overwhelming experience. There should be an awareness of different personality types, cultural differences in communication, different educational cultures. What helped me personally to feel at ease during a conference was when there was an openness for each others ideas, an eagerness to learn from another rather than demonstrating that one knows more than the other person. Appreciating peoples' different perspectives and personality types is key. Not everyone is the perfect presenter or talker but sometimes the very introvert people come up with wonderful new viewpoints if you listen carefully.

Heavy sessions in mental health or diversity and inclusion require a short break after. They can bring up traumatic experiences of attendees. Having a small break to reflect is an excellent way to allow participants time to collect their thoughts and emotions. Making sure that you have a "safe space" for speakers and participants to connect after sessions, will help ensure that your audience has options to be supported and release.

Make sure it's fun! Happy and neutral! Make sure all peoples and organizations have an Ambassador who is able to work the emotions of people in positive light! To keep the flow flowing and energies abiding by limitations of organized capacity!

When thinking of creating a wellness zone, be sure to be inclusive of the spectrum of sensory needs of your attendees. Using aromatherapy is a nice way to engage the senses that often get forget in a conference. And think of freebies they can take with them.

Movement during a conference where we often do a lot of sitting is an important complement to expanding the conference experience. The quickest way to do this is through music. Be mindful of everyone’s abilities and offer modifications. Offer walking maps to help inspire attendees to walk and get to know the city.

I always take advantage of opportunities to walk, do yoga, or other type of movement, especially in the morning before the conference session starts. Talking to a walk to a landmark near the conference site or even going up the stairs in the site to see a great view is a great way to decompress, clear the mind, and even meet and connect with new people!

Movement creates insight! If you want your Conference to be truly impactful or even transformational, building in movement is critical.

I would limit Physicality on the limitations of the situation and given the conference organization status. And then you move on to see whether or not the people engaged in the organizational conference are happy to proceed in such physical activities because physical activities are very demanding when you're in a suit in a tie or high heels.

We are wired for personal connection. No technology replaces the impact of human connection. Try scheduling technology breaks into your conference where people can disconnect from their tech for a few minutes and reconnect with a human…like themself or even someone they haven’t met before or seen in a while. Icebreakers are a fun way to facilitate new connections. Give your conference some sizzle by putting icebreakers on the tables at meals so people don’t have to think so hard to engage with new friends.

I encourage this everywhere I go. I encourage that people talk to each other humble themselves before one another, and do not forget to give preference to each other when even simply walking by 1 another. No, you first know you first. These are all great gestures of great. Great character and great morals and great ethics that we value in our societies all across the world. and I believe we should display more of that instead of less horizontal use to call it gratitude.

I rapporti umani non sono sostituibili ed è nostro dovere facilitarli organizzando un intrattenimento che possa avere un comune denominatore con i vari soggetti intervenuti. Il vino di solito aiuta le relazioni e discuterne intorno ad un tavolo anche in forma di gioco può essere stimolante

The social connections at conferences are an important element for all who attend! Networking with others in your field from all over the world cultivates years of collaboration!

As been doing stand up as a hobby I always try to keep my presentations fun. My own though is that if I am able to make people laugh during my presentations they will remember me and what I had to say. Laughter brings people together.

This one is the winner for me! But…I eat a lot and prefer real food. Put fruit and veggies out for snacks instead of candy most of the time or just more of the time. Water with lemon is probably the most simple health hack you can find.

Last week I was in a meeting that lasted for 4 days. During the day coffee and tea was offered 2 times per day and nothing else....ah water. I would say that something healthy to eat during all sessions would keep everybody more awake and not just waiting for the next meal break.

This sometimes gets overlooked. Awards for achievements are important for employees to be recognized by their peers. Why not create some new awards and mentions for issues that are not always noted as an "achiement". Ideas: Number one team support. Best problem solver. Strongest communicator. Must improved communicator. Recognizing big wins for areas that are often overlooked will bridge relationships and sentiment within your organization.

I like it when people are recognized for achievements. It is especially fun recognize “non traditional” achievements or accomplishments such as person who traveled the farthest to get to the conference, person with the cutest dog, person with the funniest travel story, etc. This is a good way for people to get to know one another and acknowledge them even if they didn’t have the highest sales, etc.

Recognition is so Important in organizations but I also think gratitude is very powerful in group settings like conferences.
