The conference ...Building on these themes. what if:<br />The conference center partnered with local chefs, crafts people and others to concoct "souvenirs" - edible and otherwise that the attendees could be given by the meeting planning client and/or sold to reinforce the "only could have happened here" feeling that many people prize, especially those who attend alot of meetings. As a speaker who has presented at over 500 meetings including at IACC I was impressed with the extra moves your members are taking to upgrade from what is offered at other conference centers and think that this series may spark more ideas for further personalization ("mass customization" as it is sometimes called). The benefits of supporting attendees in taking something home are considerable in memory-building and in proffering the bragging rights that spur them to show and tell others who matter to them, and who may also need a place to meet in the future. Smartpartnering to make such souvenirs available can tie your center to the best the region has to offer, another lure for people to want to use your center and for locals to feel an allegiance to it... and such partnerships can make your souvenir unique and perhaps less expensivekare andersonhttp://www.sayitbetter.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2938888231966216087.post-87999771792050006462012-04-11T15:56:03.787-05:002012-04-11T15:56:03.787-05:00Excellent tip!
