 6 New  Meeting Trends To Watch

 

By Jeff Hurt

   

There's good news, and there's bad news, on the horizon for meetings and events. Take a look at these statistics released from recent research reports.  

1. Meeting Spend Up; Satisfaction With That Spend Down

Meeting spend was up 22% for 2010 as compared to 2009. Yet, 66% of respondents say that their number one concern is reducing costs while increasing savings of both face to face and digital events. 44% plan to reduce the number of registrants and 36% plan to reduce the length of the event.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS SBC HOLDING MEETINGS?

 Tacoma, WA

Tacoma, WA - Tacoma is Washington's third largest city and it is located about 32 miles southwest of Seattle.  It adopted its name after the nearby  Mount Rainier, originally called Mount Tahoma. Tacoma and  Pierce County is where art and nature meet. There is as much art to see as there is land to explore. The region offers an assortment of attractions, recreation and shops.
