Meeting Planning Ideas for Organizing Conventions, Congresses and Conferences
Event Planning Tips from Behind the Event at MPI WEC 2008

From Rob Hard, About.com

Meeting and event planners are always searching for new event planning tips, whether it's to use for their next meeting or to simply know what others are doing so that they may validate some of their own approaches.

That's because meeting and event planners organize a lot of meetings, and the annual conference or congress is an excellent program that also requires a lot of meeting planning ideas.

With this in mind, it seems appropriate to review some of the meeting planning ideas and event planning tips that are used by one of the profession's leading associations: Meeting Professionals International (MPI) organizes numerous conventions throughout the year. The following event planning tips are based on the MPI World Education Congress that was held in Las Vegas, August 2008.
