This year promises to be something special, and we here at Meetings Media are dedicated to helping you navigate it.
We’ve got some big news coming up—more on that next issue—but for now we’re focusing on the troubled economy and bringing all of our resources to bear to give you the tools required to do your job more efficiently, prove your worth to the organizations you plan meetings for, and bring value and deliver on objectives for your attendees.
This month we’re highlighting the new negotiating atmosphere. Facilities are more willing than ever to wheel and deal, with some even loosening up on their attrition and cancellation penalties. Check out MettingsFocus.com for our “Let’s Make a Deal!” story, which offers a snapshot of what’s out there.
In this issue, we've included the first print supplement of our annual Meetings Market Trends Survey, which provides planner feedback on a variety of critical industry trends.
On a final note, make sure to check out MeetingsFocus.com after the middle of the month—you may be in for a pleasant surprise!
