Some of the best things never make the menu.

This summer, MPI Northern California Chapter is serving up an immersive culinary experience - rotating stations, unexpected bites, and a room built for wandering.

Suppliers, please consider donating a prize to be given away at Taste in Motion! Proceeds will support chapter programming.

Rediscover Your Play

We often measure our self-worth through achievements and external results, focusing on hitting goals rather than enjoying the journey. This same mindset spills into the workplace, where success is often defined by productivity at the expense of well-being. But what if the secret to retaining staff isn’t about pushing harder, but about rediscovering joy and connection through play?

This session is worth 1 CEU credit.

Our Speaker

Jeff Harry combines positive psychology and play to heal workplaces, help teams build psychological safety and assist individuals in addressing their biggest challenges by embracing a play-oriented approach to work.

 Jeff was selected by BambooHR & Engagedly as one of the Top 100 HR Influencers and has been featured in the NY Times, Mashable, HuffPost, WIRED, NPR, NatGeo, & Forbes. 

Jeff has worked with Google, Southwest Airlines, Adobe, the NFL, Amazon, and Facebook, helping their staff to infuse more play into the day-to-day.  Over the past 15 years of facilitation and speaking, Jeff’s main goal has been to help work suck less by assisting leaders in building a playground workplace atmosphere that motivates their staff to do their most vibrant work.

Nestled in San Francisco's Dogpatch District, The Midway is a hub of creativity and innovation, welcoming all to discover, create, interact and be moved. The vibrant venue celebrates the confluence of music, art, cutting-edge technology, and culinary arts, sparking inspiration at every corner.

Join MPI Northern California Chapter on July 21, 2026 to enjoy this thoughtfully curated culinary experience at The Midway.
