Successful Meetings University Event VS The FAM Trip

Successful Meetings University Event: A complimentary trip for qualified planners paid for by Successful Meetings Magazine - where many independent hotels, CVBs and DMC companies are gathered together to meet with planners face-to-face. Planners meet with suppliers in one-on-one appointments to discuss their upcoming events, go on site inspections and attend educational sessions. Planners leave with a better understanding of the area and what properties will or will not work for their groups.

FAM TRIP: Low-cost trip offered agents or planners to familiarize them with the destination. You, as a planner get a free trip, but you may not get to see the other options that may work better for your group. Your boss will not see this as time well spent because you are being wined and dined by one facility that may not match your criteria.

Successful Meetings University Event is better than a FAM Trip because it is an unbiased look at a destination. At a Successful Meetings University Event you meet with a wide variety of properties so you can find the best fit your upcoming meeting, event or incentive program. You have many choices that will help you narrow down your search.

Successful Meetings University Event is a time saver and three days well spent. It saves you from researching each of these places individually with internet searches, phone calls, emails and time spent following up.
