SPIN Announces INaugural 40 Over 40

Nominations Being Accepted

SPIN:Senior Planners Industry Network is encouraging meeting planner “veterans” to apply for SPIN:40 Over 40 – a new initiative to recognize and honor planners who are industry role models, influencers, innovators, and pioneers.

"There's a lot of recognition in our industry for young planners, which is fantastic," said Shawna Suckow, SPIN founder. "We want to be sure that we recognize and celebrate those who laid the foundation in our industry, as well as those who continue to do amazing things in their mid and late careers."

Nominations are being accepted through October 5, 2017 at www.spinplanners.com/40over40. Self-nominations are encouraged as well as nominations from peers or colleagues. Applicants do not have to be SPIN members – they just need to be at least 40 years old, have over 10-years of experience as a meeting planner, and still be actively planning full or part time. A selection committee will choose the final 40 honorees and they will receive two free registrations (one for the honoree, and one for their nominator or a fellow qualified planner*), to attend SPINCon, where they will be recognized at a ceremony amongst their peers. SPINCon 2017 will be held at the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas, December 3-5.

*To attend SPINCon, all planners must have at least 10 years of planner experience; suppliers can only attend in a sponsorship capacity.
About SPIN SPIN:Senior Planners Industry Network is the world’s third largest association for planners and the largest for senior-level planners with at least 10 years full time planning experience.
