Lift Conferences and Expos Expands Into The United States and we learn more from their Director of Marketing Lisa Petty. The Lift Expo has been a staple in the Canadian cannabis scene since 2016, bringing different aspects of the industry together for networking, education, and merry-making at their annual Toronto and Vancouver events. The Expo has undergone several changes over the years, with new ownership and branding and, like all large events, a hiatus during COVID. The event remains the same industry staple, though, with people from across Canada flocking to those two cities to ensure they don't miss out. The Lift Expo was initially a part of Lift Cannabis (and briefly Lift & Co), an online news and review site for the industry, from 2014 to 2020. The Expo was purchased by a new owner in 2020, MCI Group, an international leader in event management. Following a hiatus due to COVID restrictions, the Lift Expo returned to Toronto in late 2021 and May 2022, followed by Vancouver in January 2023. Lift's Director of Marketing Lisa Petty fills us in. We also spoke with Lane Radbill, Chief Marketing Officer of Highsman. Highsman is the official cannabis lifestyle brand of one of the most electric NFL running backs of the century, Ricky Williams. The Highsman Lifestyle Shop was built at the intersection of comfort and functionality with accents from a heritage rich in sports.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The events industry has never seen a film like this one.

Quotes from Episode“We talk in circles about (why the) events industry is so important, how amazing we are, how much pressure we can handle, and how many amazing moments we create for our clients. (But) this is not about us. This is about the moments we're creating for the people.”“After every disaster (there) will be a Renaissance era. It's not just about bouncing back but simply the whole rebuilding process after a disaster will be huge. The pandemic has been a big shock but it did show a lot of potential for the virtual space that the industry, honestly, purposely ignored for years.”-Shawn Cheng"There's lots of things in the industry that in terms of advocacy and awareness, we find operate in a bit of an echo chamber. So we end up as an industry talking to each other a lot about our role and our significance and our impact but it's really kind of within our industry (and) nobody else knows about it...So the idea is to create a more consumer-facing documentary that tells the stories of attendees and their lives and how their lives are impacted when they go to events and following to sort of pinpoint the moments at events that make a difference."-Anh NguyenDon't miss:- Why there's never been a documentary like ‘Moments That Matter' - The movement behind the 1001 EventsProfs campaign and Global Events Collective- How both the public and event planners can benefit from the project- The biggest challenges getting this documentary made- A re-assessment of the events industry still dealing with the pandemicFor donations and enquiries, reach out to these channels:https://1001eventprofs.snoball.events/a/shawn-chenghttps://globaleventscollective.org/https://www.linkedin.com/company/global-events-collective/https://www.facebook.com/GlobalEventsCollectivehttps://twitter.com/GlobalEventsColhttps://www.instagram.com/globaleventscollective/Connect with Shawn Cheng:LinkedInhttps://www.eventprofsbreakshit.com/Connect with Anh Nguyen:LinkedInhttps://www.sparkeventcollective.com/Connect with Adelaine:Email: uponarrivalpodcast@gmail.com

Welcome to 2021! It’s a new year but Darryl is still taking things too literally. Amanda talks him off the diving board and back into pants as they welcome Shawn Cheng of the MCI Group to talk about Event Mapping and the D.I.V.E methodology. Takeaways: Event Mapping is a great way to design your event so it follows a specific path resulting in higher attendee engagement and satisfaction Even if you have the same meeting every year, design thinking and event mapping can help. Go back and look at your objectives. For example, has your target audience changed? How are you designing your event for them? Which Platform is the 3rd question. If you don’t have a strategy you need to create one. Then the journey then the platform. Shawns Best Engagement Idea: Give people more choice in how they engage: some like to say hello and then go back to checking email. Event planners have to use multiple options: chat, 1-1 meetings, verbal feedback, polls DIVE System (https://divebymci.com/) Define: agenda, target audience, success factors (KPI) Ideate: experience touchpoints, look at the bigger picture to find the best solution (virtual, hybrid, face to face) Visualize: plan the user experience journey and tailor the way your events will connect with the audiences Engage: How do you create the “WOW!” and how do you expect the audience to respond.

Today's episode with Erin Fuller is an excellent way to start the New Year and consider new strategies and perspectives from a professional who has over 20 years experience managing associations. As President of the Association Management & Consulting Branch of MCI USA Group, she has driven the growth of her own firm as well as that of dozens of other associations across the United States. One problem she sees again and again is the conviction of some nonprofit staff that nonprofits don't need to make money and somehow need to avoid it. As she astutely observes, "Nonprofit is a tax status, it's not a business model." Join us for this conversation as we explore the benefits and challenges of association management.  Erin Fuller serves as the president of association management and consulting at MCI USA, and leads more than 100 professionals in working with nonprofit organizations. She has worked at MCI since 2002, and has spent more than 20 years working for and leading associations. MCI USA is a division of the MCI Group, an event and association management global firm of more than 2000 talents in 62 offices in 31 countries serving more than 1500 organizations each year.
