Checking In - South December 2010

As we’re approaching the end of 2010—my, didn’t the "oughts" fly by!—it’s time to take stock of where we’ve been and perhaps where we’re headed.

Indicators point to a continued, if sluggish, recovery of the meetings industry. Check out our coverage of the U.S. Travel Association’s Marketing Outlook Forum on the news page, along with a video interview with Roger Dow in the digital edition.

I’m tallying our annual Meetings Market Trends Survey as you read this—with feedback from more than 650 planners—so stay tuned for a sneak peek during our Dec. 15 "2011 Meetings Market Trends Survey" webinar and look for the full report in February.

See you in ’11.
