DESCRIPTION
It’s the end of another successful meeting or event. Attendance was up, sessions were productive, exhibitors were happy and the location was ideal. You are feeling pretty good. Then the inevitable question arises; what will you do to top this? And if your meet occurs in the same destination regularly, or rotates to the same few destinations on a reoccurring basis, keeping things attention-grabbing can be even more of a challenge. We offer 5 tips in this 30 minute webinar to help you enliven your meetings with new ideas. Join us to learn: · How to best know what’s new in any destination · How to find what is unique and off the beaten path · How to borrow brilliance from other planners · How to theme your event with the destination in mind · Who to know to make it all happen!TRANSCRIPT
