I'd like to add a bit to this news item about the Alliance of Meeting Management Consultants Business Forum next month in Texas. The lineup sounds good, and from my personal experience with the organizers—MaryAnne Bowbrow, CAE, CMP, who has been involved in the association and meetings industry for more than 15 years; Cris Canning, CMP, head instigator of Hospitality Ink, a marketing communications consultancy specializing in the hospitality industry; and Daphne J. Meyers, CMM, the managing partner of Red Barn Group, LLC, a firm specializing in strategic meeting and event best practices—they won't let you down. Plus, it's only $50. I can't go, unfortunately, but if you do, please drop me a line and let me know how it went.
