Meeting Planner Math – AKA Meeting Season

Meeting Planner Math: The Season of Chaos Has Arrived

🚨 Welcome to Spring Meeting Season 2025. 🚨

The time of year where 37.5 hours of work need to fit into a 24-hour day, and somehow, work/life balance is still a thing we’re supposed to strive for. (“We worry about you,” they say. Cute.)

I’m officially in the countdown:
⏳ 2 weeks until a conference in St. Louis
⏳ 4 weeks until I lead a session on planning documents (because obviously, I said yes to that)
⏳ 6 weeks until a 4,500-attendee, 50-concurrent-session beast that will have me on-site for a full week

Which means we’ve entered Meeting Planner Math Mode.
💻 + 📞 + 💬 + 📑 + ☕ = 😵‍💫

The inbox is overflowing, the BEO needs reviewing again, and I’m surviving on caffeine and the pure force of will that only meeting planners understand.

So, how do we survive the madness? And why do we keep doing this to ourselves?

Because we thrive in chaos. Because we juggle the impossible. Because we make it happen.
