What Friends Are For

We get through event planning with a little help from our friends

Event planning is like life — we get by with a little help from our friends. And the greatest friend to any meeting, conference or event planner is the local convention and visitors bureau (CVB).

Check out these tips from industry experts to learn what to look for and how to make the most out of CVB relationships.
