As the holiday season ends and Dry January begins, Laura Nelson, co-founder of Sober Life Rocks, is announcing the publication of her new book, The Inclusive Event Planner: A Quick Guide to Planning Sober-Friendly Conferences That Boost Attendance, which offers a fresh perspective on how to make events more accessible to a growing number of abstainers.

Nelson’s new book was written for event planners, HR professionals, and anyone responsible for organizing gatherings, providing them with a practical roadmap for creating sober-friendly events that boost morale, foster connection, promote employee satisfaction, and leave a lasting, positive impression.

With trends showing that 35% of U.S. adults participated in Dry January last year, and nearly 30% abstained from alcohol entirely, Sober Life Rocks said that traditional alcohol-centric events risk leaving a significant portion of attendees feeling excluded.

In response, The Inclusive Event Planner offers key strategies for organizing successful sober-friendly events, including creating a menu with enjoyable and fulfilling alcohol-free options, substituting traditional cocktail hour with interactive activities like mocktail-making stations, trivia nights, wellness lounges, or DIY craft workshops, and providing quiet areas for meaningful conversations.

“The Inclusive Event Planner is a resource that can help transform the drinking culture of professional gatherings, guiding sober or sober-curious individuals through a successful career without having to compromise on drinking alcohol during networking events,” said a spokesperson for Sober Life Rocks.

They added that by implementing more creative programming, organizers can ensure that all attendees feel welcomed and valued whether or not they choose to be sober.

About the Author

Inspired by a video about Grey Area Drinking in 2020, coach and author Laura Nelson began her journey of sobriety. With her comprehensive guidebook for sober-friendly conferences, she hopes to provide effective support for other sober-curious and sober professionals.

“Alcohol-focused gatherings can unintentionally create barriers to connection,” said Nelson. “By making thoughtful changes, planners can design events that prioritize inclusivity, foster meaningful connections, and celebrate diversity.”
