Welcome to the October/November edition of Meetings Focus East, where we travel from the “Sweetest Place on Earth,” Hershey, Pa., to nearby State College, and over to the Massachusetts destinations of Springfield and the Berkshires before heading on down to Delaware.
Also on the agenda, stories detailing the sharp growth curve of Eastern casinos, the continuing fallout of the GSA scandal, the many free services CVBs provide, and a fairly exhaustive column by meetings industry educator Bonnie Wallsh, who reveals her top 20 budget tips—if you read anything, read this!
Check out the story on budget tips to see a snippet of the networking, learning and CSR programs offered during our nationwide Meetings Focus Live! programs in 2012, and stay tuned for the 2013 lineup!
