In the April print and digital editions of Meetings Today, I wrote about the "10 Areas of Site Selection to Question and Learn" and spoke more about site selection on the April 27 webinar, "Site Selection: Finding the Right Fit." It all ties together with this Friday, May 6, blog and Friday With Joan interviews about site inspections.

 

 This blog focuses on hotels. It is a fraction of the items on checklists I use. The same principles, and many of the questions, apply if you are looking at a convention or conference center, restaurant, museum, or other venue.

So, You Think Your Event Website is Working? http://www.meetingstoday.com/NewsEvents/EventDetails/tabid/104/ItemID/4066/Default.aspx

        Is Your Event Website Working as Hard as You Are?

It's hard enough to grab your audience's attention and entice them to click through to your event website, but even then the job isn't over.

In the interviews that accompany the blog for each edition of "Friday with Joan," I like to find and highlight different voices and opinions. Each of those interviewed works in a different area of the meetings and hospitality industry For the Event Servicer Professionals (aka CSMs). I relied on colleagues active in Event Service Professionals Association (ESPA), formerly known as ACOM, an organization founded in 1988 by the late (and great) William H. Just, CMP, CAE.
