IMEX 2025 RECAP

Because culture isn’t only learned — it’s experienced. Cultural Spark

After an incredible week at America speaking at Meeting Professionals International, Smart Monday connecting, and celebrating culture in our global industry I took some time to explore a little Vegas magic!

From the mind-blowing visuals at The Sphere, to a nostalgic night watching The Wizard of Oz, to soaking in the city lights from the Eiffel Tower, these moments were a reminder that fun and curiosity are also part of cultural intelligence.

Each experience, each photo, each laugh shared with industry friends added a spark of perspective and joy. Because yes — we learn from conferences, but we also learn from moments that make us feel alive.

Here’s to culture, connection, and a little fun along the way!

It’s a big honor to be speaking on this international stage and contributing to the conversations that shape the future of our industry. I’m proud to bring this conversation to the IMEX stage through my work with Cultural Spark where we focus on cultural intelligence and agility as a foundation for global business success.

🌍 My session is built on the research-based Cultural Intelligence (CQ) model, a proven framework for building cultural agility that applies across industries and team structures.

🔑 Key takeaways:
Activate CQ to build motivation and understanding across diverse teams

Facilitate inclusively by setting communication norms that respect cultural preferences

Plan globally with confidence using tools to map time zones, cultural calendars, philanthropic priorities, and local holidays
