How are event planners incorporating wellness speakers into their events? One corporate event planner who attended the Global Wellness Summit told us they’re offering wellness tracks, in addition to industry-specific education tracks. Another meeting planner said they’re offering guided meditations and mindful breathing to help attendees reduce stress and refresh their energy before some sessions.
