The meetings and event industry’s efforts in health and wellbeing present a great opportunity for growth in the incentive sector, according to Lime Venue Portfolio, Sales Director, Jo Austin. The venue group hosts hundreds of incentive meetings and team-building events every year, and with the Eventwell 18 campaign kicking off this week, Jo believes that the incentive sector of can have a lot to contribute to the industry’s own efforts in wellbeing.
Over the last 18 months, the industry has launched a number of initiatives from Eventwell, to #eventtoo, and focused on wellbeing through industry associations (HBAA, ILEA, mia, MPI & ABPCO) and events, from Confex, IMEX to The Meetings Show, Square Meal and IBTM World, among others. This activity underlines the industry’s growing interest in helping to support clients organising events that address the health and wellbeing of staff.
“Many within the meetings and events industry have labelled 2018 as a crucial year for wellness within the industry, and increasingly the subject is gaining higher profile commentary, and benefiting from a number of positive initiatives, including Eventwell,” continues Jo. “At Lime Venue Portfolio, we’re seeing a rise in this kind of internal company event, businesses see them as an opportunity to communicate their businesses ethical stance and increasingly this is steered around wellness and sustainability.”
