Happy Monday everyone! We are back with our next Huddle of the Week!
 
We want to invite you to participate in Cvent and BTN Group Research’s survey as we conduct a new study that looks at the changing success metrics around successful meetings management programs.
 
This research will help provide a benchmark for organizations to understand best-in-class opportunities around meetings management. Questions investigate meeting spend as a percentage of company revenue as well as savings expectations, and data collected will be summarized into a white paper.
 
Participate in the survey now. (Qualified respondents will be able to request a copy of the paper and enter the drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card (20 to be awarded) after completing the survey. No company or individual information will be used in the white paper.)
 

Thank you for your time and contributions to this research.

Questions for you:

1. Does your company have a Strategic Meeting Management Program in place?
2. What information are you most excited to learn about Strategic Meetings Management?

1. Does your company have a Strategic Meeting Management Program in place? Yes
2. What information are you most excited to learn about Strategic Meetings Management? I'm always interested in learning about how it's evolving.  The event landscape has changed so much since the pandemic, and the newer generation coming into the industry as the Baby Boomers are retiring is also affecting the dynamics.
