mind . body . spirit . experience
Mind Body Spirit Experience returns to Rhode Island bigger, better, more inspiring, and more needed than ever. First launched in 2014 and quickly embraced as one of the state’s most popular health and wellness expos, the event makes its highly anticipated comeback in February 2026.
Designed to enrich, enlighten, and empower, the Mind Body Spirit Experience unites the very best in health and wellness, fitness, holistic healing, mental health, beauty, mindfulness, and personal-development businesses. Attendees will discover a dynamic lineup of exhibitors, demonstrations, workshops, and presentations focused on helping people live healthier, happier, and more balanced lives. Past events have welcomed acclaimed visionaries whose insights on purpose, healing, and spiritual growth inspired standing-room-only audiences.
NATIONAL MISS US ITALIA PAGEANT
The pageant invites applications from girls and women who take pride in their Italian American heritage. While the annual event is held in Rhode Island, winners from various age divisions will have the opportunity to represent the system from their home states during their year-long reign. Eligible participants include females aged 6 and older, regardless of marital status, who have Italian American ancestry through birth or lineage (such as parents or grandparents born in Italy).
“Being Italian American encompasses belonging to a family and cultural community that is rich in love, grounded in tradition, and filled with pride for oneself and the community,” said Pat Paolino Cruz, Director and Producer of the Miss US Italia Pageant. “ We are excited to revive this event after it's hiatus and delighted to host it in Providence, Rhode Island. .

face to face marketing - your key to customers
We have consistently argued that face-to-face marketing is the most effective method for engaging and influencing customers. Research backs this assertion, showing that in-person interactions build a higher level of trust, are seen as more credible, deliver greater productivity compared to other communication methods, and improve overall efficiency.
So, why is face-to-face marketing increasingly vital? Beyond the compelling statistics, in a landscape where marketing budgets are tight and consumers are overwhelmed with brand messages, forming genuine connections with customers is crucial. Face-to-face marketing initiatives enable businesses to forge deep emotional ties that cultivate lasting relationships, offering a substantial advantage in attracting customers, increasing customer lifetime value, and lowering acquisition and retention costs. Attend any of our events to experience the transformative power this approach can bring to your marketing and promotional efforts.
