Performance
HPN Global CEO Bill Kilburg on Leadership, Relationships, and Playing the Long Game
27 Clients & 5 Sponsors Engaged for Deeper Relationships
Meeting planners continually prioritize the needs of others throughout their careers, often leaving little time for their own well-being and professional growth. HPN Global identified this gap, recognizing the need to offer its clients a dedicated, supportive experience that went beyond typical transactional interactions. The goal was to foster stronger, more meaningful relationships built on genuine care. To address this, HPN Global associates, led by Mandi Graziano, meticulously designed and hosted the "All About YOU" event. This unique experience featured a tranquil Wellness Lounge offering aromatherapy and massages, alongside a curated gifting lounge tailored to attendees' markets. The event also included an an interactive education panel with industry experts, structured to inspire planners to innovate how meetings feel and function. The "All About YOU" event successfully engaged 27 clients and was supported by 5 sponsors, all hosted at a single remarkable hotel. This initiative demonstrated the profound impact of a relationship-first approach to client engagement. It significantly deepened existing relationships, strengthened trust, and encouraged the collaborative exchange of ideas among HPN Global's clients and associates, ultimately reinforcing the company's core culture.
