Hey #hospitality and #travel #tech industry event companies and planners! I'm being completely selfish with this request but can we please start having more annual industry conferences and events in #Miami and Miami Beach? Your attendees would prefer it. Let's make it so! #MiamiBeach #openinvitation #Miamimeetings #hospitalityindustry #travelindustry #traveltech #hospitalitytech #hoteldistribution #hoteldistributionservices #traveldistribution #traveldistributionservices #hoteltech

Planning an event in a new place? My #1 tip: Contact the local tourism organization in the city or cities you are interested in and start making connections. Consider them your secret agents! They know their City inside and out - the hotels, the venues, and the hidden gems. Prior to contacting them, prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) to help them understand what you are looking for. The RFP will allow them to determine which venues to send your RFP to based on your requirements. Here are a few things you should include in your RFP: ✅ Company name ✅ Contact name and info ✅ Meeting name and preferred dates (also include alternative dates) ✅ Preferred site visit dates (if you plan to make one - which I highly recommend) ✅ Paragraph about who your company is and who your customers are ✅ Purpose of the RFP - what are the top five things that are important to you when picking your location? (close to airport, suites at hotel, etc) ✅ Event profile - estimated number of attendees and estimated number of lodging rooms ✅ Meeting space needs ✅ Nice to have options (ie: meeting rooms with windows, patio for outdoor event) ✅ Offsite space needs (if applicable) Bonus perk: once you commit to hosting your event in their City, their support doesn't end. They can assist with entertainment, tours, and more for your event. A shoutout to all the amazing people I've work with past, present and future to plan events in their cities! I'm sure I've forgotten a few... Jenna Wiese Sherry Weaver Kim Davis Jasmine Black Manuel Rocha Andrew Knuth - any tips I haven't shared?

I've been receiving invitations to visit some new event venues in Manila. I plan to visit some of them soon to update my list of venues too. I enjoy conducting site visits to see the event spaces firsthand, check out the ambiance even the road that leads to their locations. These factors helps me recommend suitable venues to clients. Additionally, staying abreast of industry trends is something I find valuable. Tip for Selecting the Perfect Event Venue: Choosing the perfect event venue is greatly influenced by its location. It is important to ensure that the venue is easily reachable for guests, taking into consideration travel time and convenience. Opt for a central location that is close to hotels, churches, and restaurants. Also, consider the safety of the neighborhood and the availability of parking or valet services. The right location can significantly enhance the overall event experience for attendees. Whether it is an outdoor venue with beautiful scenery, a modern conference center, or a cozy and intimate space, the setting can set the tone for the entire event. A picturesque backdrop can stimulate creativity, while a convenient location ensures that guests can travel easily. Ultimately, the ideal venue not only serves the purpose of the event but also encourages connection and engagement among participants. #ThePerfectEventVenue #HowtoChooseYourVenue #ManilaVenues #VenueSelection #EventIndustryInsights #SiteVisits #iamjazzling #JazzlingEvents #EventPlanning #EventCoordinators #QuickEventPlanningTips
