An additional standard has been added to the checklist of “musts” for planners — authenticity — and industry pros seem to be talking and writing about it often these days.

From vendor selection to environmental impacts to data privacy, there are a myriad of ethical dilemmas that meeting planners may encounter throughout the event planning process.

In the Meetings Industry, ethical considerations should always be a priority.

Balancing the demands of work with family responsibilities remains one of the most talked-about issues for parents today…

“If you don’t have a formal crisis communication plan, it’s too often that either nobody will respond to the problem, or too many people will…”

It is always worthwhile to revisit the ever-evolving topic of contract negotiation…

Every industry faces ethics challenges, and meeting planning certainly is no exception. Something that looks like an incentive can be intended as a bribe.

Not every meeting planner sees every ethical issue in exactly the same way. But most agree on this point: If it feels wrong, it probably is.

In true partnerships, everyone comes out a winner.

Meeting planning ethics codes are black and white, but often do not account for the shades of gray that meeting planners encounter in the field everyday.
