"The Economy and Your Meetings: How to Adapt"

Presented by Joan Eisenstodt

There are a multitude of internal and external factors that can significantly impact your meetings. Some are those over which you have control or at least a say—such as destination selection and menus. While there are others over which you have little or no control—airline schedules and increasing fuel prices for example. The economy is one of the factors over which you have no control, but you can adjust. During this Webinar, we will discuss the impact of the economy on your meetings budget—including the impact on attrition, food and beverage prices, destination selection, and meeting format—and how you can best adapt.
