In two weeks, I'll be addressing the International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) for the 3rd time at their annual/global convention, this year hosted here at the Dallas Convention Center on the topic below. Last summer when I spoke (for the 2nd time) at the Society of Government Meeting Professionals (SGMP) I had one meeting planner tell me how she had to relocate three (3) events from one particular city as her clients did not want to risk their attendees falling prey to rising crime in that city while visiting there. Think about that. Then understand how such reputations are silently impacting hotels, restaurants, retail and a myriad of other services and businesses in such cities. There are strategies to help both #meetingprofessionals #meetingplanners #eventplanners #meetingplanners *AND* city tourism or CVBs, but unfortunately both are a bit lacking in such strategies. I know someone who can help...and so does IAEE obviously. #defensebydesign

How to Get the Best Hotel Deals on Your Next Conference

After 3 weeks sick (everyone in the DFW office got it), I am back at it. Today, the Prove It! 2025 Conference Committee toured two of the potential venues for the conference. We looked at Marriott Hotels Downtown #Dallas Convention Center and Westin Hotels & Resorts #Galleria in North Dallas. On Wednesday, we will tour Gaylord Hotels Texan in #Grapevine and then make our final decision and get the announcement out. Questions for the community — 1. If you’re traveling to #dfw for the conference — do you have a preference for the venue? All three are top notch convention centers with their own pros and cons. Would love to hear your thoughts. 2. Westin and Downtown Marriott — our conference dates would be the week of January 20th. If we do the Gaylord Texan — it will be the week of February 17. Would love to hear your feedback on the dates. This is shaping up to be an amazing show where Vendors, Integrators and End-Users will come together to learn and prove it. The official announcement will be in mid-June and sign ups will start then. We will have limited space — 25-50 vendors and 500-750 attendees total. Based on the response — we expect to sell out across the board, quickly. We have a bunch of exciting announcements coming soon (partnerships, simulcast etc) so stay tuned! #digitaltransformation #iiot #industry4
