Our President and CEO, Kurby Court, MA., CCP, explores what that means, and how even after 50 years, we’re still learning ways to do that better, in this article from the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.

🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day, LinkedIn family! 🍀 As we don our green attire and celebrate all things Irish today, I want to highlight an incredibly insightful article I recently came across. It delves deep into the economic impact of St. Patrick's Day and how it's not just all about leprechauns and luck, but also about the power of cultural celebrations to boost economies and businesses worldwide. Did you know that St. Patrick's Day brings in a significant surge in retail and hospitality sales, with millions of dollars being poured into local businesses? Pubs and restaurants see a spike in customers, with traditional Irish food and beverages taking center stage, while the demand for festive attire creates a wave of seasonal commerce. It is amazing to see how a day steeped in tradition has evolved over the years to become a global economic stimulant. It's also a day that reminds us of the importance of cultural diversity and the positive impact it can have on business growth and community development. The article beautifully emphasizes how embracing cultural celebrations can lead to economic progress and cross-cultural understanding. As we raise our glasses in toast to St. Patrick, let's also toast to the immense opportunities such festivals offer for entrepreneurship, marketing, and global connections. Here's to the spirit of Ireland, which shows us that the blending of culture and commerce can yield a pot of gold for businesses and economies alike! Sláinte! (That's cheers in Irish 😉) 🌈 #StPatricksDay #EconomicImpact #CulturalDiversityInBusiness #Entrepreneurship #GlobalEconomy #CelebratingCulture 🌈 https://ayr.app/l/9Afs

How can Business Events help promote social inclusion? This case study published by Destinations International "Tampa Case Study: Empowering Communities Through Inclusive Business Events" looks at how their 2024 Annual Conference held in Tampa Bay succeeded in doing this. I was a skeptic myself when it was announced that the Annual Conference was going to be hosted in Tampa Bay, with Florida State's anti-DEI legislation. But having attended the Conference and experiencing how this was taken as an opportunity to support Tampa Bay and to positively impact the community, I see the success of how Business Events can drive social inclusion. Key points: *work with local organizations to incorporate them into the program and provide opportunities for delegates to engage and support - "Feeding Tampa Bay Food Security Event" *invest in local minority-owned businesses - "Sunset Market Local Event" *offsite events to immerse delegates into the local community and culture showcasing diverse vendors and suppliers -"Ybor City Closing Reception" Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gscrb-mQ Toolkit: https://lnkd.in/g7ZrxTxj
