"Savannah was a first time location for our annual meeting and trade show. We knew from the first planning trip
the city would be a fit for our group as it provides flexibility. The convention center offers meeting and exhibit
space to accommodate groups of all sizes. The hotel package has a variety of room rates from high end boutique
properties, convention hotels to nearby limited service options. The feedback from attendees and exhibitors was
positive as they enjoyed the unique location and charm of Savannah."

"When Meetings Today chooses a destination for its hosted buyer events, we work very closely with the DMO
in that destination. Our style is to showcase a destination and provide planners with as many new and unique
ways to use that destination. We have incorporated CSR and learning into our agenda consistently and try to find
unique attributes to showcase a city.
"In Savannah, headquarters of the Girl Scouts of America, we had a great opportunity to teach our attendees
about the history. In going through the various parts of the house that served as the birthplace of the Girl Scouts,
attendees became very engaged and curious. We took the opportunity to make plans to purchase cookies for the
troops overseas in yet another element of this CSR experience.
"In truth, the event surveys when we left Savannah showcased just how special and important items like this are
in an event!"
