BUSINESS EVENTS
BUSINESS EVENTS ESSENTIAL RESOURCES & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
BUSINESS EVENTS RESOURCES Access resources on CVB support, site visits, attendance-driving, future roles, risk mitigation, crisis planning and more to boost meeting success.
Business events are a powerful driver of economic growth, community development and destination visibility. Meetings, conventions and events generate visitor spending, support local businesses and create opportunities for investment, innovation and knowledge exchange. Destinations International provides destination organizations and business events professionals with the resources, education, research and peer connections needed to attract, support and maximize the impact of these events.
DESTINATION BOOKING AGREEMENT (DBA) A client agreement document template that is utilized by a CVB/destination organization when they secure a future meeting or convention.
ADVOCACY FOR THE POWER OF THE CONVENTION BUREAU We are developing presentations that will help you engage with your members, stakeholders and broader community on the role of the convention bureau. We also have resources within research and advocacy that will strengthen and amplify your voice in the local community.
