Each national convention is predicted to draw some 50,000 visitors to those cities and regions. And each will be bookended by a flurry of events hosted by local leaders, lobbyists and others who hope to hold sway with the nation’s elected officials, convention delegates, political pundits and the media.

Some say that the picturesque community of Sedona, Arizona, 117 miles north of Phoenix calls to them because of the energy centers located there. Others point to the rich red rocks, the dramatic craggy landscape and the serenity of the wide-open spaces. As an International Dark-Sky Association-designated city, it boasts awe-inspiring views by day and night. Meeting professionals may want to bask in the range of opportunities for venues that bring out the best in attendees. A recent visit explored the many definitions of the concept of a “retreat” from minimalist to luxurious and found there is something for everyone in a destination that boasts more than 400 miles of hiking trails and a growing list of award-winning restaurants. https://bit.ly/3VLeUvT #Arizona #Sedona #landscape #openspace #DarkSkyAssociation #meetingprofs #meetingprofessinal #retreat #destinatoin #meetsmart

Smart Meetings Digital Editor Malik Anderson is out and about in Cincinnati! Thanks to Visit Cincy for inviting us!
Visit Cincy just held the groundbreaking of Duke Energy Convention Center’s 18-month renovation. Around this, I also visited other several places that make for great places for groups to visit and/or host meetings and events, including Vista at Lytle Park at The Lytle Park Hotel, Music Hall, several Cincy landmarks and Sharonville Convention Center, which is fresh off a renovation and expansion. #meetsmart #visitcincy #dukeenergyconventioncenter

Challenging event inflationary times call for fresh ideas. When 200 destination management company (DMC) experts gathered for Global DMC Partners’ annual 2024 Connection event at Conrad Punta de Mita in Mexico—co-hosted by local DMC partner Tropical Incentives—the first order of business after a sunset beachside welcome reception that demonstrated the power of locally rich activations was tackling the biggest problem meeting planners face today: budgets. https://bit.ly/4eIaVc9 #DMC #destinationmanagementcompany #GlobalDMCPartners2024Connection #ConraddeMitainMexico #TropicalIncentives #activations #budgets #meetingprofs #meetingprofessinal #eventplanners

It’s been said living with a gas stove, even a pricey model, is as bad for your health as residing with a smoker. One in eight cases of childhood asthma is caused by it, a recent study says. Environmentally, it’s no better. When in use, pollutants they expel would be illegal in many states if done outdoors, observed a recent newsletter from Yale University. Perhaps more alarming, even when not frying your eggs, gas stoves still emit dangerous methane—a greenhouse gas 80 times more harmful to the atmosphere than CO2. https://bit.ly/3xOw3gi #healthyworld #induction #climate #culinary #food #beverage #stove #gas #sustainability #meetingprofs #meetingprofessional #eventplanner
