May 2012 supplement kicked off an expansion of coverage area for meeting planning trade publisher
SAN FRANCISCO – September 13, 2013 – The May 2012 Meetings Focus International supplement won a 2013 Azbee Midwest-South Region Gold award for Editorial Excellence, Special Supplement from the American Society of Business Publication Editors.
The issue represented the first product of the company’s expansion beyond its traditional North America coverage area.
“The May 2012 Meetings Focus International supplement was truly a great launch of our global coverage,” said Tyler Davidson, chief content director of Meetings Focus. “The global profile of the meetings and events industry is set to grow exponentially in the near future, so we’re proud that our initial foray into worldwide coverage has been deemed a creative success. These vibrant, exotic destinations offer a host of great facilities and activity and cuisine options that set the stage for memorable and productive meetings, events, conferences, congresses and incentive programs.
“The fact that this award was judged by our professional peers-editors from some of the top business-to-business publishers in the nation-further speaks to the quality of the supplement,” Davidson added.
Editorial content covering the global meetings, incentives, congresses and expositions industry has since been included as a standard feature of every monthly edition of Meetings Focus, which is read by a primarily U.S.-based audience of meeting professionals.
