Will the Meeting Industry be Affected by Economic Decline?

1 Comment

ConventionPlanit.com‘s audience has recently expanded to include 4,000 planners from the United Kingdom, serving as just one example of their growing global presense in the industry. 

MPI’s annual FutureWatch study indicates demand and growth in Europe for the meetings and incentive business, but it is cetrainly reasonable to think the current struggles in the United States ecomomy will have a negative impact on this.

Paul Kennedy addressed this issue in a recent speech at the AIME Media Conference.  Do you agree with his thoughts?  Will the industry experience sustained growth during an economic slow?  How do you think this can or cannot occur?

    I just have to say this was potentially one of the most intelligent articles I’ve had the chance to read on the subject so far. I do not understand where you learn all of your data but up! I’m gunna send a few folks to this site to take a look at this post. Fantastic, simply amazing. I’m just getting into spitting out articles myself, nothing compared to your writing skills (ha!) but I’d love for you to take my stuff someday!
