"The National event gave me valuable meetings with individuals with a specific interest in bringing events to the Broadmoor,” said exhibitor Laurie Meachem, Director of National Sales, The Broadmoor.  The
2012 HSMAI’s MEET event dates are as follows:
HSMAI’s MEET Mid-America April 3-4, 2012 Navy Pier Chicago, Ill. HSMAI’s MEET West May 30-31, 2012 Anaheim Marriott Anaheim, Calif. HSMAI’s MEET National September 5-6, 2012 Walter E. Washington Convention Center Washington, D.C. The 2012 HSMAI’s MEET events will showcase the new features that debuted at the National event in Washington, including:
Attending HSMAI's MEET comes with a number of benefits for meeting and event planners, including more than nine hours of acclaimed continuing education on the most pertinent topics they are facing, the opportunity to research and secure venues and destinations, opportunities to connect and learn from peers and partners alike, and the ability to pre-schedule face-to-face meetings with exhibitors. For exhibitors, the conferences offer the opportunity to connect with an exclusive group of decision-makers, and learn about the issues they are facing. The annual series attracts thousands of experienced planners from the corporate, association, government, and independent sectors, many of whom do not attend other industry shows, with collective buying power of more than $1.5 billion. “We have analyzed feedback from the inaugural HSMAI’s MEET attendees and exhibitors and are thrilled to be speaking to their specific needs more than ever,” said Fran Brasseux, Executive Vice President. “The strategic locations of all three 2012 HSMAI’s MEET events make it possible for meeting planners and vendors from across the country to attend and build strong business relationships.” Booth space is available.
