Following a six year history of delivering research-based educational programs and attracting a balanced audience of both planners and suppliers, the 7th Summit continues to provide the industry with an intimate, relaxed setting ideal for networking and learning.

These experienced presenters share actual scenarios they’ve encountered and handled during their many years in the industry, providing the audience with tangible and practical solutions that they can take back and implement immediately to compliantly plan and conduct effective meetings with fewer resources.
