Checking In - MidAmerica October 2009

The October issue of Meetings MidAmerica is full of features that will help you create more cost-effective, sustainable, and downright fun, confabs.

With the economy still lagging, some are ready to start shoveling dirt on the "green" meeting, believing that holding sustainable events hurts the bottom line. Not so, say many green thinkers. Check out our "Lean + Green" story, to see how you can bank some bucks while being responsible.

While going green is indeed an evergreen issue on the meetings scene, family-friendly meetings are especially popular in the Midwest due to the large number of resorts set up to accommodate both goal-oriented business get-togethers and pursuits of a more-recreational nature. Our "Take Us Along!" story,  travels the heartland to discover where the brood can find some fun while mom or dad tends to the business at hand.

Finally, if you haven’t already, make sure to check us out on Twitter and Facebook (just do a search for "Meetings Media" on "FB" and find us at @meetingsmedia on Twitter). Fan us. Follow us. It’s all such an ego boost!
