What is our intention?

Olympian Meeting aims to recognize and incentivize efforts that enhance attendee wellbeing and support sustainable, impactful meeting practices. The intention of these awards can be summarized as follows:

“There is no shortage of spa and wellness awards for leisure travel. However, spas traditionally don’t scale to provide wellness solutions for groups of 200 to 2,000. By prioritizing attendee and overall wellbeing, we’re setting new standards for impactful, meaningful meetings and events. The inaugural Olympian Wellness Awards not only honor these efforts but also inspire the industry to push the envelope further.” - Ariadni Pereira, Co-Founder and Wellness Architect
