Introducing a new era of event offerings designed to meet planners on their journey to return to hosting events, Hyatt has announced ‘Together with Hyatt’ – advancing care for meeting planners by simplifying and streamlining event planning and execution with attendee safety and wellbeing as top priorities.
New resources, capabilities, and hybrid solutions, including opportunities to utilize Headspace and Swapcard, provide planners with support, education, and inspiration for events during the pandemic and much more, Together with Hyatt arises from the hotel’s expertise in delivering high-quality meetings and events,
Rooted in their purpose to care for people so they can be their best, Together by Hyatt prioritizes the following four pillars essential to all events:
1. Care + Safety
Serving as the foundation for Together by Hyatt, Hyatt’s Global Care and Cleanliness Commitment focuses on enhanced rigorous cleanliness and safety protocols and includes GBAC STAR™ Facility Accreditation and GBAC-Trained Technicians™ from the Global Biorisk Advisory Council™ (GBAC) – ensuring the industry’s most rigorous cleanliness standards and protocols being followed.
2. Care + Technology
Offering a seamless and streamlined technology platform, Hyatt and Swapcard are working together to offer the Together by Hyatt Technology Platform Powered by Swapcard, which will provide planners with access to a bespoke platform that unifies on-site and virtual experiences and uses Swapcard’s artificial intelligence to enhance remote attendees’ experience.
3. Care + A Community of Experts
To address the complexities of hybrid events and further care for planners as they navigate the new normal, Together by Hyatt also offers planners the opportunity to tap into new resources and dedicated expertise surrounding hybrid events.
Alongside the on-ground Hyatt team to oversee on-site event execution, a dedicated Support Squad will assist with all virtual components. From addressing real-time technology questions from attendees to assisting speakers with setup, the specially trained Support Squad will provide additional peace of mind for planners throughout event execution.
4. Care + Wellbeing
With wellbeing at the core of its purpose of care, Hyatt is addressing this increased focus on wellbeing with a new series of guided experiences featuring wellbeing experts at Hyatt’s Miraval resorts will be available for planners to integrate into event agendas for meetings at all Hyatt hotels, connecting on-site and virtual attendees alike. With content that is purposely designed to serve as a break in the agenda, attendees will be able to enjoy a variety of wellbeing moments – from intention-setting activities to guided stretching exercises – throughout their event.
Curated content from Headspace, a global leader in mindfulness and meditation, will also be offered through Together by Hyatt, providing planners with a unique opportunity to care for attendees’ mental wellbeing. From meditations, breathing exercises, and focus music, planners
will be able to make their meetings more mindful.
Hyatt is evolving its culinary offerings in creative ways too to bring exceptional food and beverage experiences with amenities like Personal Preference that allow attendees to choose their meal once seated to provide recipe cards and shopping lists for remote attendees.
Steve Enselein, Senior Vice President of Events, Hyatt, shares, “Guided by our purpose of care, every aspect of Together by Hyatt is intended to provide a seamless experience for planners so they can focus on delivering exceptional events for attendees. We’ve taken strategic steps to bring safety, technology, support, and wellbeing to the forefront of our offerings, and we are here to co-create the path forward, which we believe lays the foundation for a new era of events that will be more inclusive than ever before.”
