What They’re Saying
I always enjoy reconnecting with others in my field and making new connections at these events. This year and last, I came home with three great business opportunities and even if they do not come to fruition, the direct connection has been made for future opportunities.
Connect has been one of those shows that never disappoints me as we always land business from the show.
My experience with Connect Meetings has been exceptional. I have truly enjoyed the opportunity to meet with suppliers from coast to coast. If you are just starting your career as a planner, you must place Connect Meetings on your to-do list at least once a year.
Nowhere else are we able to spend time with our current clients, prospective clients, hotel and city partners all in one place.
