Sheri Davies, VP of Global Accounts at the National Association of Postal Supervisors (NAPS) 2026 National Convention at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis, bringing together more than 1,500 attendees!

For Sheri, the event was also a special full-circle moment. Sheri connected with John Geter, her original client within NAPS more than 15 years ago—a wonderful reminder of the lasting relationships that make this industry so meaningful. Congratulations to NAPS on another successful National Convention!

What a fabulous site visit with Visit Lexington! 🐎🥃

We experienced the very best of Lexington—from getting up close with racehorses at Keeneland to sipping bourbon and enjoying some seriously delicious food. Such a fun way to experience this incredible destination!

A huge thank you to Visit Lexington for being such wonderful hosts and showing us what makes Lexington so special. 💙

A 400-plus-page proposal from the Office of Management and Budget wants to rewrite the rules governing how federal grant dollars can be spent on conferences, memberships and event services. If it takes effect as written on the scheduled October 1 date, planners who rely on federally funded attendees could be looking at a very different fall.

During the Canadian Meetings + Events Expo (CMEE), ConferenceDirect’s Team Canada and Brian Richey joined IHG Hotels & Resorts for a wonderful lunch at the InterContinental Toronto Centre, with a meaningful start to the day.

Led by Team WholeHearted, attendees came together to assemble snack kits for Food4Kids Toronto, which provides healthy weekend food packages to children ages 4–13 facing food insecurity. We were delighted to learn that the kits were received and warmly appreciated by the organization.

At ConferenceDirect, giving back to the communities where we meet is an important part of who we are. This experience was a wonderful reminder that meetings can strengthen connections while creating an impact far beyond the event itself.

Thank you to IHG for hosting, Team Wholehearted for leading this purposeful activation, and everyone who participated!
