Ariel Backus, MHRM, CMP, CTA just returned to Lansing this week from the Small Market Meetings Conference in St. George, Utah! 🌄 This event was a fantastic opportunity to network with industry professionals, engage in 1-on-1 appointments, and soak in breathtaking scenery of St. George and @greaterzion. But why is this conference so crucial? 🤔 It empowers tier 2 and tier 3 cities to forge valuable connections with meeting planners, showcasing the unique advantages of hosting events in smaller cities. Fun Fact: Ariel met with a planner who recently hosted their event in Lansing and loved their experience from checking in at their hotel to departing from the Capital Region International Airport returning to Washington D.C.! Ariel also had the opportunity to meet with a planner hosting a conference in Lansing in 2026. Being in a smaller market isn't the only perk of booking a meeting or event in Greater Lansing!
