Advisory Council Meets with Innovative Ideas

Apr 16

Seven years ago, ConventionPlanit.com was formed, with the hopes of making the lives of meeting planners easier. An Advisory Council of respected meeting planners from a variety of fields was formed to help make this possible.

Now, the Council is going strong, and their input is valued more than ever!

Yesterday, the Washington Hilton hosted a meeting and reception for our Advisory Council, in the brand new Heights Executive Meeting Center. (The hotel is undergoing a $140 million dollar renovation – more on this plus photos to come). The Council members came ready to work!

They were full of suggestions and ways to improve ConventionPlanit.com, and spoke candidly about some of the industry issues affecting them.

The Council provided group input during a tour of the website’s features, and offered insight on specific areas of the website in break out sessions.

Look for some improvements to pop up on ConventionPlanit.com in the near future, as we work to implement some of the Council’s fantastic ideas!

Die-hard Democrats and Republicans alike can celebrate their candidates while staying at one DC hotel – The Liaison Capitol Hill, an Affinia Hotel.

The Liaison is offering a “Pick Your Party” package for guests –

choose the “red” dining and nightlife guide to mingle with local McCain supporters and receive a copy of the Washington Times…

…or opt for the “blue” dining and nightlife guide to find Obama’s fans and get a copy of the Washington Post.

The packages also come with picnic baskets and “Not for Tourists” Washington city guides.

You can even buy a “Demodog” or “Republipooch” t-shirt for your dog!
