Business Alabama Magazine: Choosing the right meeting planner 🤝 "Whether it’s a board meeting, a gathering of shareholders, a team-building excursion or a conference, convention or expo, organizing professional gatherings like these require logistical planning, savvy and steady nerves. "If a company, however, lacks the in-house bandwidth to organize a meeting, conference or convention, hiring a meeting planner might be the best and most efficient option," wrote Gail Allyn Short. Enter Greater Birmingham Convention & Visitors Bureau's Director of Convention Sales, Steve Pierson ... “We know the city. We know the area. We know who to get them in touch with for what they need. “We’ll design a unique site inspection of the city and the facilities designed around what their requirements are, so they’re not wasting time,” says Pierson. "We’ll pinpoint what they’re trying to accomplish during the meeting, what the goals are during the meeting, what kind of experience they want their attendees to have, either in the meeting facilities or outside social events that may be included.” Check out the full article below to read other great insights from Jenny Askins, founder and CEO of Huntsville-based Touronimo Destination Management Group, and Sherry Pierce, owner of the corporate event planning company Studio08 in Mobile. ⬇ https://lnkd.in/gBisYxeY | #inbirmingham

Yesterday was the GMID (Global Meetings Industry Day) - which was the largest and most important event of the year for meeting professionals from around the world. I attended the South Florida Chapter of Meeting Professionals International education event featuring Michael Dominguez, FASAE, CHSE! My 3 main takeaways: 1) The perceived value of face-to-face events has not only increased since the pandemic, but actually seen as more valuable. 2) Networking is the most important factor driving demand for face-to-face meetings, followed by education. This is especially true for the under 40 crowd - which is the largest growing segment of meeting participants. BTW - these "kids" are health conscious don't drink alcohol like older meeting goers. So be sure to serve "mocktails" & have vegetarian options too! 3) The main pain points are hotel costs and budget constraints since room rates plus F&B & A/V have significantly increased vs pandemic. They are NOT going down but the rate of increase may slow - with the best opportunities for discounts are in the limited service or extended stay venues. We at www.SmallConferences.com & www.MeetIn.Miami are always aware of these trends & we will work to get you the very best pricing possible - often up to 25% less than other meeting planners.

When planning an event, whether it’s a training session for your staff, corporate hospitality for your clients or a celebration of any kind for your business, there are so many factors to consider. What’s the format? Who to invite? When would be the best time of year to hold it? What would be the preferred time of day? One of the most important factors to consider is, of course, the location. In fact, this might be the most significant choice you make for the event.
