powering wellbeing experiences
Highlights from the Challenge
Thank you all for joining the Wellbeing Challenge at PCMA CL22. As a group, we hit over 4.6M steps, engaged in nearly 500 bonus wellness activities, and joined in additional wellbeing education sessions, massages, and samplings of Dayli nutritional supplements at the Vancouver's Wellbeing Lounge.
Below are some highlights captured during the Challenge, followed by the original overview of the program.
Excerpt from "Positivity Prevails at PCMA CL22"
Andrew Peters, meeting manager at National Defense Industry Association (NDIA), found it refreshing and comfortable to return in person to the show. “It was great to see attendees back at CL this year!” he said. “Overall, I felt reasonably confident in my in-person attendance of the event because I knew that everyone was vaccinated, and masking was required at all times (except for eating and drinking).”
Peters said he welcomed the opportunity to reconnect with his hotel and CVB reps in person and give them a heads up about future business he is looking to place. Highlights of CL22 for Peters included the Maritz Global Events Well-Being Challenge and the keynote speakers.
“I always enjoy participating in the well-being challenges at PCMA events,” he said. “When I travel for my own conferences, I try to get out after the event to explore the city, and the well-being challenge helped me do that at CL too," Peters said.
His walks must have paid off. “I finished second in the challenge!” he said. “I really appreciate Maritz/Heka Health for putting on the wellness challenge and Vancouver for the great prizes and giveaways.”
