We’re headlong into the beginning of 2012 and some interesting trends are starting to manifest, both here at Meetings Focus and with the meetings industry in general.
As you’ve probably noticed, this issue features our annual Meetings Market Trends Survey riding along with it. In a nutshell, it seems prices are rising in key areas, such as at hotels and with food. Give it a read to see what the experts think, along with the more than 800 respondents to our exhaustive annual survey.
Perhaps an indicator of industry strength, PCMA’s Convening Leaders conference will probably post record attendance, while the association is also boasting an enviable 83 percent member retention rate. See my News Trends story on the opposite page to find out more.
Enjoy our yearly read of the industry tea leaves!
