National Meetings and Events team has expanded its leadership in wellnessfocused event programming with the launch of a comprehensive white paper on wellness for industry professionals. The guide builds on its innovative wellness menus, Global Wellness Forum, and Caesars Entertainment’ s recent nationwide wellness road show in the US.

“ We introduced our wellness menus in October 2023, hosted our inaugural Wellness Forum in June 2024, and took our message on the road with the Wellness Roadshow in 2025. With wellness now a $ 6bn – and rapidly growing – industry, we’ re proud to be a thought leader in this initiative and a resource to all meeting planners,”

says Kelly Gleeson Smith, senior vicepresident of sales, Caesars Entertainment National Meetings & Events.

The new white paper includes data on the benefits of integrating wellness into events, a FAQ sheet, and a sample agenda infused with wellness activations to inspire planners and demonstrate how easily wellness can be incorporated.

The Caesars team says that, by integrating wellness, planners can elevate the attendee experience – offering nutrient-rich food options and wellness activations that enhance retention, boost engagement, and cultivate a stronger sense of community. Such thoughtful additions can, the team believes, also empower attendees to adopt wellness practices in their personal lives, ultimately enhancing their work / life balance.
