Due to worrying about destroying family and personal time, weekends and holidays were considered to be unable to touch business activities. However, the transformation of remote work changed this.
“We live in a mixed society, and taboos are no longer taboos. You cannot end the meeting on the weekend.
Vague line
Many jobs report remotely to work on weekends. Traditional Monday to Friday has become the past. “Remote work blurred the boundaries between work and family life. This makes weekend and working days as feasible. For many professionals, the question is not,” Should I work on weekends? “How do I integrate work and personal life in a meaningful way?” “
Garcia said: “As a professional activity and mother, I have witnessed how the work and the family are no longer a separate world-they coexist. I brought my family to the meeting and turned business travel into a common experience. The work of weekends in weekends does not infringe on the weekend activities-they are evolving to include it. “
In a spring vacation, she took her family to attend a meeting in New York. She said: “I have visited the family and watched the Broadway performance and explore the museum, which makes the experience more valuable, whether it is occupation or personal.” “More and more participants are doing the same thing to transform the meeting into the meeting into Including family experience “”
The weekend meeting is some rest
“We have seen a change, and even the President’s Day weekend and other dates are considered to participate in the event. Therefore, many people work at home and escape from participating in the weekend activities.” Domingger said.
The rise of integration business in leisure has exacerbated weekend meetings. Participants have extended their travels more and more and arrived early or were late to explore their destinations with their families. The weekend meeting enables participants to spend good time with their loved ones while fulfilling their professional commitments.
In order to meet this demand, many organizers are incorporated into family -friendly programs, such as children’s activities, so that parents can participate in the meeting while taking care of their children.
The change of scheduling specifications
Date’s compression is also promoting this trend. The surge in delayed events during the period forced many people to re -consider the traditional scheduling specifications. Surprisingly, the event held on weekends or holidays maintained an excellent attendance rate, revealing the fear of participants getting off the bus.
Dominigs said: “From the popularity, the group needs to meet, they seize the opportunity in the date and model, and they find that this is not harmful to attend.”
The key to whether the weekend meeting is successful is to understand your audience. “When I plan to hold a medical meeting, I prefer to hold a meeting on the weekend so that doctors can participate in patients within a week,” said Melinda Burdette, the conference and event architect. “This is not to say that we do not give priority to family hours, because we usually have spouses and children’s programs during the day, and the activities at night are usually friendly to the family.”
Price is a factor. “Sometimes, associations or other people avoid weekends or holidays to use discount prices. In addition, in a week, compared with weekends, more usability is usually available.” Burdette said. “If you are flexible in time, please talk to the Target Hotel about their gap in living and leasing, and sometimes lead to a steeper discount.”
The letter from the participants is always a good idea. Burdette said: “If you have never held a meeting on the weekend and considers the meeting, you should investigate the target audience to understand whether they will support it.”
