Meeting Planners
DeKalb Area Convention & Visitors Bureau Offers
- Educated information about services and facilities in the destination.
- Serve as a vast information database and a one-stop shop, thus saving planners time, energy and money in the development of a meeting.
- Act as a liaison between the planner and the community. For example, we are aware of community events with which your meeting may beneficially coincide (like festivals or sporting events). They can also work with city government to get special permits and to cut through red tape.
- Help meeting attendees maximize their free time through the creation of pre and post-conference activities, spouse tours, and hosting of special evening events.
- Provide hotel room counts and meeting space statistics, and will keep a convention/meetings/events calendar in order to help planners avoid conflicts and/or space shortages.
- Match properties to specific meeting requirements and budgets.
