Even though meetings, events and travel have taken a pause, meeting planners and convention and visitors bureaus (CVBs) have not. During this crucial time, our industry needs to enable business connections and create new relationships with local health and government authorities. This month, Destinations International launched “We’re Here to Help” to elevate the role of CVBs in supporting meeting professionals. This program was developed in collaboration with several industry partners, including the Events Industry Council.
Learning outcomes:
- Hear how CVBs are forging new relationships within their communities to support business events in a fast-changing landscape
- Learn about new technology platforms to search (and find) solutions for event needs
- Learn how CVBs can participate in the “We’re Here to Help” campaign
Panelists:
- Jim Abramson, Vice President Product Management, Cvent
- Amy Calvert, CEO, Events Industry Council (moderator)
- Al Hutchinson, President and CEO, Visit Baltimore
- Stephanie D. Jones, CAE, CMP, Acting Deputy Chief Administrative Officer & Senior Director, Conferences and Events Management, Water Environment Federation
