Hooray for Hollywood!!
Two days and counting until the Annual DMC Network Winter Meeting! Our team here at The Meeting Manager has been feverishly planning and gearing up to host the conference which kicks off on Friday in Hollywood. I always look forward to these gatherings and it is equally special when we have the opportunity to showcase Southern California to our colleagues.
As we all know, change is inevitable in this industry and there is no better way to stay abreast of current trends than attending these network functions. The theme to this year’s meeting is “Keep it in the Network,” and we have planned some excellent speakers and sessions that address hot topics DMC businesses are currently facing.
The opening session features our guest trainer Ron Rosenberg, an award-winning expert on marketing and customer service. He has traveled around the world speaking to and training various corporations, associations, government agencies and universities. He is known for developing “innovative and creative marketing strategies and applying them to produce tangible, bottom-line results.” Ron is also going to lead a couple hands-on sessions in which each DMC will be able to take a marketing strategy back to their destination.
Another highlight for the conference is a session on Critical Tax Issues for DMCs. I know as exciting as taxes can be for anyone, it has become such an imperative topic of discussion as tax classifications and audits are affecting many of our businesses.
Aside from the sessions and speakers, these meetings are a great time to catch up and visit with one another. We are hosting several dinners and outings to some of LA’s finest nightlife spots. Hollywood, watch out for the DMC Network!!
