We place a lot of value on education here at Meetings Today, and have for years.
Many of you access our monthly webinars in search of CEU credits, or tune into our live GroupThink broadcasts or the On Location roundtables we conduct at some of the big meetings industry events. It really is one of the most-rewarding things I do in the course of my work here, so thanks!
When you get a moment, check out our 2016 webinar lineup, and stay tuned as we add more topics and programs.
As always, please drop me a line to suggest additional topics we may not be covering this year, especially ones that are a bit on the cutting-edge side, as we always like to be ahead of the curve when the opportunity shows itself.
We’ve got a number of new initiatives, features and improvements to both our magazine and website that we’ll be rolling out over the next few months, so keep an eye out, and as always, educational content and outreach figures to be a big part of it.
On a sad note, the meetings industry lost one of its long-leading lights at the end of January when Tim Brown, founder and CEO of Meeting Sites Resource (MSR), passed away unexpectedly.
We’ve had the pleasure to work with two of his MSR colleagues for our webinars and live broadcasts over the years, Robyn Mietkiewicz and Terri Woodin.
To me, Tim was one of those people you’d see at a big event such as MPI WEC who could field any question about the meetings industry you could throw at him, a quality that is exhibited by the professionals who work for MSR. After all, knowledge is meant to be shared.
Enjoy this issue and your spring!
