Roaming With The Ronks

27/05/2026

🐾 Strategic planning session underway at the DMC Network San Antonio offices today!

Charli Bear has officially entered the meetings & incentives industry.

After sitting in on conversations about DMC programs, attendee engagement, and experience design, Charli has proposed a bold new strategy:

Every program should include:
✔️ Puppy activations
✔️ Unlimited treats
✔️ Mandatory cuddle breaks
✔️ Stress-relief puppy lounges between sessions

Honestly… she may be onto something. 😂

Can you imagine arriving at a conference breakout and instead of stale coffee and granola bars, there’s a “Puppy Recharge Station” waiting for you?

Brandi McNair Ronk and Charli are apparently now consulting on emotional ROI and attendee happiness metrics. 🐶❤️

It’s honestly tough to fully capture what the 2026 SITE Texas Summit meant this year—but this video gets pretty close.

I couldn’t be more proud of what our chapter created together in Las Vegas. The energy from day one, the conversations that pushed our thinking during Education Day, and the connections built during our offsite experiences… it all came together in a way that truly felt special.

What stood out most to me wasn’t just the programming—it was the people. The openness, the willingness to connect, share ideas, and support one another is what continues to make SITE Texas such a powerful community.

To everyone who joined us—thank you. You are the reason this Summit was one of the best we’ve ever had.

Now… we turn the page and start building what’s next.

Puerto Vallarta 2027… we’re coming.

Today Roaming With The Ronks had the opportunity to attend the grand opening of the new Big Spring Lagoon and Rancher Hall at the Hill Country Resort here in San Antonio, and it was absolutely stunning.

The new lagoon brings a “beach experience” right to the Texas Hill Country, and the new event venue and luxury villas are incredible. As a meeting planner, I’m always exploring destinations that create memorable experiences for groups — and this one definitely impressed.

We shared more photos and a full recap on LinkedIn.

AND …. For the BIG Reveal ….

This weekend we flew to Philadelphia, logged a few road trips, and came home with the sweetest souvenir of all 🐶💗

Meet Charlie Bear—9.5 weeks old, 100% dorky (dachshund + yorkie), and already stealing hearts.

She crushed her first crate night, handled planes like a pro, and is officially home in Helotes.

Our hearts are full—and our house just got a whole lot cuter. 🐾

Big things are happening in the Ronk household ❤️

There’s something special unfolding behind the scenes—something we’ve been planning, dreaming about, and quietly smiling about for a while now. It’s tied to family, love, and a new chapter that already has our hearts full.

We’re not ready to share all the details just yet… but we promise it’s the kind of news that makes life a little sweeter and our adventures even more meaningful.

Stay tuned—this one is worth the wait 🐾✨

Our fourth and final stop was Winery in Fredericksburg — the perfect way to wrap up the day.

A beautiful setting, a delicious charcuterie board, and a smooth, well-balanced blend to end on a high note.

After a full day of tasting and exploring, it was time to head home—grateful for great wine and even better company.🍷✨
