So convinced of the integrity of the program was President & CEO Jody Wallace that she decided to take to product one step further and guarantee its success. �We are in a maturing meetings market with venue supply that has dramatically increased over the past 5 years,� stated Ms. Wallace. �We�re also in an election year with significant uncertainty in the marketplace, and may be dipping into a recession.

EMCVenues is poised to help in a way that benefits the venue and satisfies the need of the planner,� continued Wallace. �We have a vast customer database developed over that last decade � and our expansive team of experienced meeting professionals offers a large network of planner and venue relationships. eVite for Sites was designed specifically for meeting properties -- with the needs of planners top-of-mind -- and with results guaranteed!
