Welcome to the August issue, which offers our annual Best of the West Awards.
Turn to page 41 to see if any of your favorites made the cut— this planner-chosen list could be a great site selection aid, too.
We also travel across the seas to explore the best international meetings strategies, beginning on page 30. Make sure to check out the piece on Oprah Winfrey’s Trip of a Lifetime program, which sent 1,700 Harpo Productions staffers on a cruise to five European countries. You forgot me, Oprah. Maybe a NEW CAR would heal my pain!
On a much more serious note, Ruth A. Hill’s page-40 “Storm Warnings” piece details the contingencies planners, and association planners in particular, should take to protect their delegates from disaster.
Always be prepared.
