No matter what season it is, Florida seems to be in a perpetual state of summer bliss. It is the Sunshine State, after all, and its radiant rays, cushy sand and beachy pastimes are the magnets that pull visitors to its shores.
But Florida presents everything under the sun, and planners will find all they need to create spectacular programs—from over-the-top resorts and hip hotels to golf galore, adventures to die for and one-and-only attractions, not to mention some of the tastiest food around. Gator fritters, anyone?
In our second annual Meetings Florida supplement, Lisa Simundson, Florida/Caribbean editor, begins with the lowdown on major projects, then explores the many intriguing layers of the state, offering expert advice on truly memorable ways to experience it.
No doubt she’s passionate about Florida, and in no time she’ll have your group oohing and ahhing over the mermaids at Weeki Wachee, doing the “Sanibel Stoop” and flooring it on an airboat through the Everglades.
As always, we’ve included a comprehensive listing of meeting facilities and CVBs, and our website, MeetingsFocus.com, has a plethora of additional resources.
Thanks for checking out Meetings Florida. Don’t forget to wear your shades because in the Sunshine State, the meetings forecast always calls for blue skies and golden opportunities.
