Northeast Florida
Let the Adventures Begin
By LISA SIMUNDSON

Northeast Florida’s historical footprint makes a deep impression. From Spanish Colonial dwellings in St. Augustine—which will celebrate the 500th anniversary of Ponce de Leon’s arrival in 2013—to the vestiges of Victorian splendor in Fernandina Beach and Jacksonville’s rich antebellum and African-American heritage, visitors will find a lasting legacy of historical sites on Florida’s “First Coast.”

Yet this corner of the Sunshine State also holds its own as an outdoor recreational playground where visitors hike, bike, swim, paddle, surf, sail, watch for birds or simply watch the waves.

Attendance Building – A Meetings Focus Checklist
By MARYANNE BOBROW, CAE, CMP, CMM, CHE
|
- Engage your participants and your prospective participants. One size does not fit all. Your 'invitation' should be tailored to your key audiences. Don't assume a single invite will be attractive to everyone. It will not.
- Deliver all of your promotional materials in a variety of forms. Whether it is snail mail, email, eblasts, faxes, or other delivery methods, don't rely exclusively on any single method. Doing so means you will surely miss a segment of your intended recipients.
