\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s been called the \u201cAIG Effect\u201d but no question it\u2019s bled further than the insurance and finance industries.\u00a0 Any corporation, association, government agency, non-profit, any entity who has any type of public stakeholder suffers from the backlash of public scrutiny when choosing a location for their conference.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Upon first glance, as a tax payer, or shareholder of a large corporation, one would expect the top decision makers to be good custodians of our money.\u00a0 But being a responsible spender does not have to be mutually exclusive with choosing destinations that might be interchangeable for leisure travelers.<\/p>\n

Cities like Las Vegas, Orlando, and the state of Hawaii are the ones suffering from this unjustified blacklisting of sorts.\u00a0 While it is a sure bet that vacation goers might choose the same locations for their rendezvous, all three of these destinations are serious business spots all the same.\u00a0 In fact, they represent some of the finest conference hotels in the entire country.\u00a0 And for the last few years, they have also simultaneously represented some of the finest conference values in the land.<\/p>\n

This bears repeating \u2013 it costs more money to hold conference in places that have less of a perception issue than these.\u00a0 And right now, it\u2019s a lot harder to find space.\u00a0 Sure, there\u2019s fun \u2013 there\u2019s even sin around.\u00a0 But these things can be found in any destination; they\u2019re just a bit more prevalent in others.\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t discount the notion that the end user will save money for being there, perhaps have higher attendance, and quell the horrendous buzz out there that \u201cmeetings are bad\u201d.<\/p>\n

Who stands to suffer from this unjustified blacklisting?\u00a0 How about the communities that surround these areas?\u00a0 How about their local economies?\u00a0 And how about the employees of the large, convention casino hotels on the strip, or the stunning resort hotels of south Florida and Hawaii?\u00a0 It\u2019s simply not fair to pull meetings from this area for fear of the Washington Post test.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To all courageous meeting planners \u2013 take your meetings where they\u2019re wanted more than ever.\u00a0 Take advantage of rates and offerings never before heard of.\u00a0 Defend the true notion that meetings are not only necessary but that they\u2019re good and that they\u2019re good no matter where they are held.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
