SUMMARY:Global Meetings Industry Day: Navigating Politics While Addressing Safety & Security Issues - May 5\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join the PCMA Capital Chapter on Tuesday\, May 5th for Global Meetings Industry Day: Navigating Politics While Addressing Safety & Security Issues.

In between\, we are excited to offer a new dynamic experience that combines live panel conversation\, destination storytelling and interactive hot sauce tastings in a format inspired by the YouTube sensation\, Hot Ones. \nAgenda\n\n1:30 PM: Registration Desk Open / Check – In\n2:00 – 3:00 PM: The Current Climate: How U.S. Policies Affect Associations\, Meetings and Global Travel\n3:00 – 3:30 PM: Break\n3:30 – 4:15 PM: Hot Spots\n4:15 – 4:30 PM: Break\n4:30 – 5:30 PM: Politics\, Protests and Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis – Their Impact on Safety Precautions and Your Meetings\n5:30 – 7:00 PM: Networking Reception with CEMA\n\nProgram Details\nThe Current Climate: How U.S. Policies Affect Associations\, Meetings and Global Travel\nAfter 1 year of the Trump Administration\, we can see the effects policy shifts and changing priorities have had on some of the cornerstones of the business events industry: associations\, meetings and global travel. Many associations are dealing with federal funding cuts\, increased scrutiny of tax-exempt status\, and re-evaluations of DEI programs. Business event strategists are also facing challenges from policy changes\, including\, decreased international participation\, cost increases from tariffs\, and government shutdowns. Heightened focus on safety issues has slowed down the visa application process and changed the landscape of global travel. From our panelists\, learn more about how U.S. policy changes are affecting our industry and how we might move forward in this current political climate. \n\nModerator: Gary Murakami\, GTP\, GLP\, CMP\, CMM\, DES – Vice President\, Global Sales and Industry Relations\, Teneo Hospitality Group; Chair\, CEMA\nMary Kate Cunningham\, CAE – Chief Public Policy and Governance Officer.

Resistance to changing policy priorities have resulted in both peaceful and violent protests. Both require heightened awareness of security measures as well as discerning the true “facts on the ground.” Venues and public infrastructure entities are under pressure to be both operationally secure as well as win the PR battle in communicating their “safeness” to the meeting attendee and the general public. Our panelists will discuss the measures they have taken\, under increased scrutiny\, to operate safely and what future safety protocols may mean to business events. \n\nModerator: Marcus Eng\, CMP Fellow\, DES – Senior Director\, Meeting Operations\, American Public Transportation Association (moderator)\nHootan Kaboli – Senior Vice President\, Office of Executive VP & COO\, Events DC\nChristy Loy – Senior Vice President\, Destination Sales\, Meet Minneapolis\nAmy Durkin\, CEM\, CMP\, DES – Vice President of Events\, National Catholic Educational Association\nLeroy Jones – Executive Vice President & COO\, WMATA\n\n\nContinuing Education \nThe PCMA Capital Chapter is a CMP Preferred Provider.  To ensure that you receive proper credit for attending this event\, please be sure that you have opened a free account at (https://eic.learningbuilder.com/account/login) with the Events Industry Council BEFORE the event. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThis event is included in the 2026 All Access Pass \n\nRegistration Rates\nPlanner Member – $45\nPlanner Non Member – $60\nSupplier Member – $65\nSupplier Non Member – $80\nStudent – $20 \nCancellation Policy: Registrants may cancel up to 7 days before the event for a full refund\, minus a $10 administration fee.

SUMMARY:Beyond Burnout: How to Rebuild Cognitive Capacity for Sustainable Performance (Virtual Lunch & Learn)
DESCRIPTION:You know the feeling. You’re running on fumes but can’t stop. You used to love this work\, but now you’re just going through the motions. Your body is present\, but your brain checked out months ago. \nThis is what burnout looks like from the inside. And by the time most people recognize it\, they’re already deep in recovery mode. \nMost burnout interventions focus on behavior change: sleep more\, exercise\, take breaks. But burnout isn’t a behavior problem. It’s a brain problem. When the nervous system has been in overdrive for too long\, it loses the capacity to regulate. Willpower can’t fix a fried circuit. \nDr. Eccleston takes a different approach. She doesn’t lecture people about work-life balance. She teaches them how to recognize the brain’s early warning signals and intervene before cognitive capacity collapses. Not motivation. Regulation. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the burnout continuum and recognize early warning signs before cognitive capacity collapses\nUnderstand why willpower-based solutions (better boundaries\, self-care routines\, time management) fail when the nervous system is dysregulated\nApply brain-based strategies to rebuild cognitive capacity for sustainable\, long-term performance\n\nSpeaker Bio\nKristen Eccleston\, Ed.D. is a cognitive performance specialist and keynote speaker whose work sits at the intersection of neuroscience research and real-world application. She helps high-achieving professionals and teams understand why their brains work against them under pressure\, and what to do about it in real time. \nShe holds an Ed.D. in Mind\, Brain\, and Teaching and an M.S. in Special Education\, both from Johns Hopkins University\, a Certificate in Educational Leadership and Administration from Hood College\, and is a National Board Certified Teacher. She has delivered keynotes and training for the CIA\, FAA\, EEOC\, Johns Hopkins University\, Costco\, and Carelon Behavioral Health. She holds an Ed.D. in Mind\, Brain\, and Teaching and an M.S. in Special Education\, both from Johns Hopkins University\, a Certificate in Educational Leadership and Administration from Hood College\, and is a National Board Certified Teacher. She has delivered keynotes and training for the CIA\, FAA\, EEOC\, Johns Hopkins University\, Costco\, and Carelon Behavioral Health. She’s a TEDx speaker and a Featured Speaker at Schools of the Future 2025 in Hawaii. She’s been featured in USA TODAY\, Yahoo Life\, and U.S. News & World Report. \nDr. Eccleston is neurodivergent herself\, which means she didn’t build The Perspective Pivot from theory. She built it after her own nervous system shut down during a high-stakes moment\, and she spent years figuring out why capable people lose clarity at the exact moment they need it most. That research became a framework. That framework became a keynote. And that keynote is now being delivered to corporate teams\, healthcare organizations\, government agencies\, and national associations across the country.

SUMMARY:PCMA Student Insight Series
DESCRIPTION:The PCMA Student Insight Series aims to expose students to different aspects of the Business Events Industry and perspectives of working professionals at all career levels. \nThis month’s topic: “Negotiating the best contract and how to maintain lasting relationships.” \nThis session will be hands-on\, including a breakout portion. Come ready with your questions! \nPanel: \nMoira O’Brien has been with McCormick Place Convention Center\, currently managed by ASM Global\, since 2009. As the Director of Sales for McCormick Place since 2015\, Moira and her team secure events at the largest convention center in North America ranging from major city-wide conventions and trade shows\, Association and Corporate meetings\, public and consumer shows to smaller catering functions. Having worked as a National Sales Manager then Senior Sales Manager with McCormick Place Moira has managed all types of accounts and industry segments. \nPrior to McCormick Place\, Moira worked as an Executive Recruiter in the hospitality industry focusing on Leadership placements in both the hotel and restaurant communities. This was preceded by ten years working with a hospitality trade association managing membership\, sponsorship and trade show logistics plus five years in the hotel industry directly out of college where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management\, all which prepared her well for her current role building relationships with customers\, the convention bureau and all our hospitality partners to host successful events at McCormick Place. \nIn 2020-21\, the COVID-19 pandemic deeply impacted the global meetings and events industry. Moira is passionately committed to the continued recovery efforts at McCormick Place. McCormick Place was one of the first facilities to commit to the GBAC STAR™ Accreditation\, an independent review of our cleaning and business operations to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. Since being able to host large scale events again as of July of 2021\, we are thrilled many of our event organizers have been able to meet safely and successfully achieve their event’s missions. \nMoira lives in Chicago and is constantly exploring new restaurants in Chicago’s thriving culinary scene. She is a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan\, always hoping for late October baseball. Moira tries to relax with yoga and travel\, and still has many places to experience to her bucket list. \nMatt Radenbaugh has been working in hotel sales for 20 years\, first with the Drake Hotel and now with the Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park. Previous to that\, he was in the front office and convention services\, so he prides himself on knowing the ins and outs of hotel operations in order set realistic expectations for his clients and setting them up for a successful conference experience. He believes a group contract should be a “win-win” agreement\, in which both sides feel risks are shared and terms are fair. In his free time\, Matt enjoys spending time with his family and pursuing his passion of fishing all over the Chicagoland area. \n \nMurray Ryan has served in the meetings and events industry for over 30 years.  Prior to joining the Encore family Murray worked in a variety of sales and marketing roles for leading industry firms including Hyatt\, Hilton\, Tourism Toronto\, and PRG.  Murray is a proud member of the Greater Midwest Chapter of PCMA\, having served on the Board of Directors in various years\, most recently serving as chapter President in 2018. \n  \n \nJen Salerno is a 20-year veteran of the hospitality & events industry. Throughout her career\, Jen has worked with and consulted for many of the biggest trade shows in the country and specializes in strengthening the relationship between event planners and the hospitality community. \nToday\, she is owner of JTS Connect\, which provides live\, virtual and hybrid event host/emcee and moderating services. She is also host of The Room Block\, the podcast where hospitality and event professionals meet. Jen is passionate about solidifying the connections across our industry\, and is ready to connect your team or audience with ideas that inspire action. \nLindsay Woike attended College at Eastern Illinois University and majored in Business Management with a minor in Hospitality. Had to complete an internship with my minor and headed to Hilton Head South Carolina to Vagabond Cruise where myself and a team of interns ran the operations for the sightseeing and excursion cruise operator. After graduation I started a job at Hyatt Regency Deerfield as the Assistant Outlets Manager. About 7 months into my position\, Hyatt sold the hotel and promoted me to Assistant Banquet Manager at the Hyatt Regency Louisville where they moved me to. From there I found my love for meetings and events. After 3 years with Hyatt\, I moved back to Chicago and started work with the American College of Healthcare Executives as their Meeting Planner. After a few years with ACHE I was promoted to Senior Meeting Planner and was with ACHE a total of 7 years. While I loved working with associations\, it was time to grow my career and learn about being a manger. I found my next job with CNO Financial as the Manager of Operations for Training and Development. During this time COVID came and my job changed quite a bit and we all had to pivot with the times. After 3 years with CNO Financial I moved to my current job which is Manager\, Meetings and Event Experiences with Institute of Food Technologists this past December. I am now planning\, with my amazing team\, to put on a show for 18\,000 people in person and 2\,000 virtually with my team at Institute of Food Technologists.
