Janice Cardinale has been listed as one of the top 100 most influential people in events, she’s in the Smart Meetings Hall of Fame, is noted as one of the BizBash’s 15 over 50, is a Smart Meetings Entrepreneur, a Reiimagine Powerful Business Woman, aaaand is the fiery Founder of the Event Minds Matter community – which is where our lives intersected in the Fall of 2023.

The community Janice ignited in 2022 grew out of a compassion and concern for the next generation of event, meeting, hospitality, and travel professionals. 

Event Minds Matter is a community of like-minded event professionals committed to creating thought leadership and a new culture in the events industry. 

Being a “natural connector”, Janice has welcomed 20 like-minded professionals to volunteer their time – as she does – to change the conversation on mental health in an industry fraught by stress, anxiety, and burn-out.

Speaking and facilitating conversations within the events industry is a passion for Janice and she takes every opportunity to provide purpose and value to anything that will support human capital within an organization.

Janice says, “In the event industry, we need to open a conversation within our associations, because language matters, education is needed, being kind is essential and listening is paramount.”

In our conversation today Janice shares how, “We didn’t know that we could work differently. We didn’t know we should have boundaries." But when we know better, we can do better.

And Janice won’t stop until we get there … together!


You can find Janice on LinkedIn HERE along with her Event Minds Matter community of 2500+ planners HERE!


A note from your host, Lisa Gareau: “As someone who faced burnout early in my life due to my event planning activities, I am honoured to join this group of passionate planning pros and will be investing in Event Minds Matter in 2024, volunteering as part of the education committee.”
