SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – March 2, 2011 - The North American meetings industry is solidly in rebound mode after nearly two years of lean times, according to results from the 2011 Meetings Market Trends Survey, published by Meetings Focus, based here. “This year’s survey, among the most comprehensive in the industry, demonstrated that meeting planners expect to hold more meetings in 2011, work with higher budgets and enjoy higher attendance,” said Tyler Davidson, chief content director of Meetings Focus. “On the flip side, they also expect prices to increase.” Key findings include the following:
The results of the 2011 Meetings Market Trends survey are available online at www.MeetingsFocus.com/MarketTrends or via the digital edition of the print publication, also available on MeetingsFocus.com.
