Meeting planners were some of the first people to carry mobile phones – the immediacy of communications and urgent nature of our meeting industry required constant contact. Today almost every meeting planner has a phone in their pocket, purse or strapped to a belt – but are we utilizing these mobile devices to their fullest extent? What mobile applications and functionalities are available for these devices beyond an email inbox and speaker phone?

Right beneith the ECB building, a unique location in Frankfurt, our underground gathering unfolds ... FRESH dinner is the place where you meet others with an interest in the content side of meetings.

5 Lessons From the TED Conference
The annual TED conference , held at the Long Beach (Calif.) Performing Arts Center, brings together diverse speakers and listeners for four days of presentations and networking. And it has one advantage that corporate planners may never have: TED chooses its audience. “Without an amazing audience, we couldn’t attract amazing speakers,” organizers say at TED.com. “Our speakers aren’t paid—they attend because of the audience.”

What is it about a destination that makes it the right fit for any given event? Is it the glorious beaches and fantastic weather? Is it the pristine transport infrastructure? Is it the reputation for quality and excellence? All of these are certainly important, but I would say that above all the desire to host events is the most important factor, especially when it manifests itself in the desire and willingness to learn from more established destinations and recognised experts on industry best practices. The Polish MPI Club, soon chapter, has with two excellent events done a great service to the Polish meetings industry.

Wine Fairies - Keeping Service Fun - Slowfood concepts for Meetings & Events
This is not technically "slow food" in that this is a post about wine, delicious made in British Columbia wine, being served by gorgeous acrobatic wine fairies. This concept we originally developed at Cantrav Services with our partners Underground Circus as we began planning for the MPI WEC11 Welcome Reception, which took place last summer on the Olympic Cauldron Plaza beside the Vancouver Convention Centre. This is a centre known for its fantastic food, not something that convention centres are typically lauded for, and it was important to showcase the food and service, but also to create a fun and welcoming environment. Hence, the wine fairies came to be... they augmented the wine bars, but more importantly they put a smile on faces all around them as guests could come right up and have a glass of wine poured from above.
