Wellness
well·ness | noun
The state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal. Wellness is more than eating healthy or exercising, it is about achieving your full potential. As a meetings and events professional, wellness is something that you aspire to - for both your events and yourself.
In the first edition of Education Essentials, we have put together some insight, resources and articles that will help you approach the idea of wellness with renewed focus and intent for the year ahead.
Each month, Education Essentials will deliver to you a roundup of all the education and resources FICP has to offer on a given topic. Next month, we will use this newsletter to showcase resources related to food and beverage trends.
