Earlier this month, Meetings Michigan headed to Chicago's Navy Pier to attend HSMAI's MEET Mid America conference. We exhibited with two partners: BOYNE Resorts and the Westin at the Detroit Metro Airport. As in years past, our booth was located in "Michigan Row" along with our friends from Visit Ann Arbor, Discover Kalamazoo and the Detroit Metro CVB.
New for 2012, the show received a complete format overhaul. In addition to the usual trade show exhibition, planners and suppliers alike were invited to set up pre-scheduled face-to-face appointments. We met with several planners during the conference who expressed interest in placing their next meeting in Michigan. Time and time again we meet planners who are just hours away from Michigan but have never considered bringing their conferences or meetings to our great state.
Overall, it was a great show and we hope to exhibit again in 2013!
