With the big happiness summit, the "My Yapadu Summit", the Tourism Association Kitzbüheler Alpen St. Johann in Tirol launched a completely new event format. After the premiere of the event, those responsible look back on a successful weekend.
Mindfulness, balance & physical relaxation - these were the main topics of the first big happiness summit in St. Johann in Tirol. Well-known personalities such as Olympic champion Felix Gottwald, yoga instructor and content creator Marcel Clementi, coach Pia Baur and many more were present.
Many satisfied participants and a satisfied organiser
"Launching a new event format is always a challenge. We are all the more pleased that the premiere of the "My Yapadu Summit" went so well!", Gernot Riedel, Managing Director of the Tourism Association, sums up after the event. "With a total of almost 500 enthusiastic participants spread over the entire weekend, we can be very satisfied ... of course there is room for improvement in some places, but that is quite normal for such a versatile event!" he indicates. In total, there were more than 20 different events over the weekend between 16 and 19 June 2022. "The focus was on offering as broad a spectrum of different activities as possible so that every participant can find their own individual moments of happiness!" says Riedel, explaining the approach to planning and implementing the Happiness Summit.
From cinema to yoga with harp sounds
The spectrum ranged from pottery to mindful hikes with Qi Gong to a cinema screening and from the morning yoga session on the mountain to lectures on "burn-out prevention" and "clean eating". Especially this colourful selection of events, which were not embedded in a fixed programme but could also be booked individually, was well received by the participants. Many locals also took up the offer and attended some of the events. "We are particularly pleased about this ... because we design many programmes and events that are made for both guests and locals ... the fact that this venture succeeded right at the start is our personal "lucky moment!", Riedel is pleased about the lively participation of the local population.
The partner for the first happiness summit was the well-known Kneipp company, which, like the region of St. Johann in Tyrol, has dedicated itself to the theme of "happiness". At the first summit, the participants were given giveaways and there were also joint marketing activities. "To have such a strong partner as Kneipp at our side right from the start was a stroke of luck for us! We would like to thank them and hope for a good cooperation in the future," says Riedel, expressing his gratitude for the brand partner
Next event in June 2023
It was clear from the outset that the "My Yapadu Summit" would not remain a one-day event. "We will hold the happiness summit annually from now on ... the feedback from this year's participants encourages us in our plan. The date for 2023 will follow soon - but the first plans for that are already underway!" concludes Riedel.
