Celebrating the Best of the Best CVBs, Hotels, Resorts and Conference Centers.

While there is genuine debate with whether an event needs a big-name speaker or not, planners should also keep in mind that celebrities aren’t created equally.

Corporate meeting and event planning comes with built-in pressure, and fatigue can creep in from all directions.

Some of sustainability’s resilience in today’s headwinds comes down to values that many individuals hold personally and carry into their business practices.

Wellness has evolved past being a healthy break at a spa or a low-calorie meal at a vegan restaurant; it’s an approach to living that has impacted almost every aspect of society, including the world of meetings and incentive travel.

Meeting planners today must navigate an increasingly complex landscape characterized by rising costs, evolving attendee expectations, technological disruption and persistent economic uncertainty.

In today’s experience-first business environment, theme parks offer more than a change of scenery, they offer a change in mindset. For planners looking to deliver measurable motivation with a side of magic, it might be time to swap the boardroom for the rollercoaster.

The meetings industry, forever built on the foundation of face-to-face interaction, must now restate and reappraise its value proposition in a world where screens and cellphones rule our communications.

When planning corporate events, partnering with Convention and Visitors Bureaus (CVBs) and Destination Management Companies (DMCs) can often save corporate meeting planners time and money, while streamlining the entire planning process by leveraging these organizations’ vendor networks, negotiating prowess and local expertise.
