Strategic Meetings Management in Today’s Economy

With the Corporate Meetings Market sitting at $40 Billion annually, leaders today are asking, "How much do we spend on meetings? How do we manage our meeting spend?”.

Join MPI North Florida Chapter and FCBTA (First Coast Business Travel Assn.) as they partner together to explore this topic.  This session will provide a high level overview and highlight key components to building a successful Strategic Meetings Management Program (SMMP) by identifying opportunities, engaging key executives/departments and determine the right approach for your company culture.

In this joint meeting you will walk away with insight and key learning objectives:

• Overview & Key Components of building a Strategic Meetings Management Program for your group or organization, no matter how large or small.
• Learn some long-term benefits of a Successful Strategic Marriage between Travel, Procurement & Meetings Departments and how to manage the process, make smart decisions and help the bottom line on budget.

In addition, we will preview the brand new One Ocean Hotel & Spa (formerly the Sea Turtle Inn).  A new look, fabulous new meeting and event space and a completely new feel to this wonderful resort property. 

Join us for everything that's NEW this year, including high level meeting topic and a reason to come out to network with your hospitality partners!
