This week on the Event Tech Pull Up, Tess and I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Alicia McKoy, the visionary founder and CEO of Peak Mind. Dr. McKoy shared her journey from experiencing burnout as a business owner to creating innovative tools that empower employees to manage stress and thrive in the workplace. From her expertise in VR, AR, and AI technologies to her commitment to improving workplace well-being, Dr. McKoy is truly transforming how we think about mental health in the meetings and events industry.
We dove into the challenges of stress in event planning—an industry notoriously ranked as one of the most stressful professions—and explored how Peak Mind’s tailored solutions can help both employees and attendees at events. Dr. McKoy also introduced us to the groundbreaking concepts behind her simulations and nudges that guide individuals toward healthier, happier lives during their workdays.
One highlight? Hearing about her work with CES’s Innovation for All initiative, where her company was one of only 10 globally selected to showcase diverse innovation in tech. It’s exciting to see Peak Mind making waves on such a prestigious platform.
If you’ve ever wondered how to create calmer, more supportive environments at events—for your team, attendees, or even yourself, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Tune in to hear practical tips, inspiring stories, and a refreshing take on using technology for good.
