One of the best things about my job is that it provides me with a lot of opportunities to write about things that interest me -- such as
books,
comics, and, as you'll see from the cover story (and CMP Series article) in this month's
issue, food. The specific genesis of "Menu: Impossible" was my love of the Food Network shows "Dinner: Impossible" and "Restaurant: Impossible," which led us to ask PCMA's own Kelly Peacy to create an F&B challenge that we then presented to seven meeting chefs across North America. And they came back with some great, non-impossible menus.
Other highlights from this issue -- not necessarily an outgrowth of my hobbies and interests, but great content nonetheless:
"Focus Group": A feature article by Barbara Palmer about the use of "mindfulness" practices such as meditation to improve attendee concentration.
