The Importance of Giving Back: Socially responsible meetings are on the rise. Investing in the community is an important for conference attendees.

Social Media Surge: Social Media has become such an integral part of marketing for any business. Blogging and Twittering about events, both during and after, has been on a sharp uprise over the last year and no doubt will continue to increase in the future.

We look forward to seeing what new and exciting trends 2013 has in store!
