Are you able to maintain your poise, your good mood, your energy and your health, no matter what crazy stuff happens during your travels?
Are you doing your best to provide a wellness-focused experience for attendees, helping them maximize the value of participating in your meetings or events?
Anyone who is tired, cranky or sick can’t perform at their best, and that undermines the very purpose of travel and business meetings.
You will learn to:
-Travel smarter, from packing, airport security, the experience of flying, bettering your hotel environment and staying hydrated
-Optimize your experience, both business and personal, by avoiding illness, balancing jet lag and sleeping better on the road
-Build wellness objectives into meeting agendas with simple changes to menus, meeting rooms, activities and more
-Maintain the balance of good health and business objectives by fitting in exercise, experiencing your destination and performing at your best.

Register for SGMP's Webinar : Making Ethical Decisions and Overcoming Obstacles (February 17, 1 p.m. EST)
Recently, there have been numerous highly public examples of individuals and companies making decisions that have shined a spotlight on their ethics. These decisions have made people question what their “moral compass” looks like. You may be asking yourself, “How can I be sure I am making an ethical decision,” or “Where do I draw the line?”
During this webinar, you will learn how different values and thought processes lead people to make different decisions. This knowledge will help you work with other people, understand their thought processes and work toward a positive outcome. Our speaker, Phyllis Mikolaitis, will describe steps to make ethical decisions, explain how to recognize ethical concerns and weigh what the implications may be in those decisions. You will also learn common obstacles to making ethical decisions.
