Our global talent community is called Soundings® Thrive for a reason. 🌟 Here's what freelancer Myla P. said after she was matched with a PR and communications technology company: "The entire process from onboarding to projection execution was so smooth... both Soundings and [the] client were very diligent and well-structured which made the entire experience really good. At each point they gave you the opportunity to do your best. Nikki Gonzales / team was so gracious, so generous with her time and very comforting as this is quite a new world to most of us. She's very reliable and she inspires confidence." Interested in finding work for your unique specialties in the business events industry? Join our network for free 👉 https://lnkd.in/gV26s5HG

Such an inspiring day at SDSU Payne School of Hospitality & Tourism's Meeting & Event Employer Exchange! Soundings® had the opportunity to connect with SDSU Payne School of Hospitality & Tourism's Hospitality & Management students and share insight into the evolving Meetings & Events industry. A special thank you to Nikki Gonzales, who represented Soundings on the employer panel alongside Rebecca Romero, Mandy Brown, and Tré Wilke IV. The conversation offered students a real-world look into career pathways, industry expectations, and how to build a meaningful future in hospitality and management. Nikki also led thoughtful one-on-one sessions with students, offering guidance, encouragement, and actionable advice as they prepare for their careers. Thank you to every student who stopped by, asked questions, and engaged us throughout the event. Your curiosity, energy, and passion for this industry were truly inspiring. We’re grateful to SDSU for hosting such a valuable exchange and excited to continue supporting the next generation of hospitality and events leaders.

Independent planners are proving to be indispensable partners in today’s lean, fast-evolving event world. With staffing gaps, tech complexity, and the AI wave rising, these pros offer much more than sourcing and contract negotiation. They deliver support across logistics, speaker curation, sponsorship strategy, sustainability, and more. Their value lies not just in what they do but also in how they do it: with transparent communication, trust-based relationships, adaptability, and human-centered expertise in a field increasingly tempted by automation. https://lnkd.in/gjnXi9dY #SmartMeetings #MeetSmart #IndependentPlanners #EventProfs #MICE #MeetingPlanners #EventStrategy #HumanInTheLoop #EventTech #Collaboration
