Checking In - Florida Supplement 2009

The state of the economy may be dim these days, but planners can look on the bright side when arranging meetings in the Sunshine State, which beams with possibilities for mixing business and pleasure while increasingly doling out deals that give groups more bang for their buck.

In the third annual MEETINGS FLORIDA supplement, Lisa Simundson, Florida/Caribbean editor, begins with the scoop on new developments then covers signature lures like glorious golf courses and dreamy beaches; unforgettable adventures such as bioluminescent kayaking and shipwreck diving; dine-arounds featuring everything from local stone crab to Latin fusion; and shopping outings with plenty of discount perks. To inject some adrenaline into gatherings, the state’s many sporting venues are also always game for groups, whether it’s a Pit Stop Challenge at Daytona International Speedway or a basketball-themed event that transforms attendees into star players at Miami’s American Airlines Arena.

This year’s print supplement also includes an Advertisers’ Expanded Listings section. For a comprehensive listing of Florida meeting facilities, visit our website, Meetings Focus.com.

Enjoy the third annual MEETINGS FLORIDA supplement. No matter how you slice it, the Sunshine State is paradise for planners looking to organize a radiant rendezvous.
