I help keep *employees* out of the Emergency Room, and help keep *employers* out of the Courtroom & the Newsroom.
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
