2022 Meeting Planner of the Year

Caryn Mambro, Chief Creative Office at Opus Agency, was nominated by peers to join the ranks of the annual Meeting Professionals of the Year list by Smart Meetings. She shared her classified secrets and top advice to inspire the meetings industry.
Motivational Bugle Call
What is the best possible outcome? Asking myself this question is so motivating. If you can visualize the outcome, you can manifest it and overcome any challenges that present themselves. I grew up in a very sports-minded family and gained a fiercely competitive mindset. No one goes into a game wanting to lose. Envision the best outcome and work your tail off to achieve it!
Lessons Learned
Embrace the turbulence. Your resilience and adaptability will likely surprise you and can lead to unexpected solutions. Great things are seldom safe or expected so if I have learned a lesson from the last two years, it is to embrace the chaos.
Advice for My Younger Self
Do not be afraid to take chances and be bold. Try to experience as much as possible within the industry and also, outside of it. There is so much inspiration happening in various sectors like the arts and emerging technology. Push beyond your comfort zone.
