OUR STORY

OUR STORY

Well as many brilliant ideas begin…

they start over by sharing a meal with friends and family.  The story takes place over 4 years ago in San Francisco while at brunch.  We were discussing the archaic trends of the events industry and how we could disrupt it. We thought if we could generate more activity and movement in meetings & events, it would help stimulate the retention of the brain and in turn, people would be more focused and present in the meeting. We also came up with numerous other ways to bond & network with attendees. For example, working out and sweating together is just as important as happy hours. I’m not suggesting we cut out the mai tais, yet we can have them a bit later in the day! 

Olympian Meeting (OM) was originally called FIT Meetings but we didn’t feel that the name embodied everything we wanted to educate, produce, and execute at our events as the idea goes beyond just fitness.  Plus, people thought we working out all the time!! After brainstorming some additional names, we came up with Olympian Meeting and it wasn’t until weeks later that we realized it stood for “OM” for short.  How fitting is that! 

We started educating our friends and partners in the industry and everyone took an interest.  Over the last few years, we have implemented our OM elements in events.  At OM, we believe it is time this industry gets a fresh start, a new beginning, a new outlook and we are excited to enlighten you all along the way.
