The Return of Luxury Meetings

In late January, meeting and incentive planners as well as journalists covering the community gathered for the three-day 2011 Luxury Meetings Forum. Attendees agreed that the emphasis now is on ensuring event objectives are met. Successful Meetings asked our very own Susan Radojevic on "How to Soothe a CEO".

Excerpt: “Don’t say, ‘Here’s a luxury property that we think is going to fit, it has 50,000 square feet and good breakout space ...’ A C-level executive doesn’t care about that. She cares about how the venue is going to fit into the larger picture, and about how the business of meetings is affecting her or helping her grow the top or bottom line,” says Radojevic.
