Welcome to Coffee Talk…a Venue Managers Guide

2.4: What's really going on? Local Edition.

Today we welcome a guest as we run down our experience at the Meeting Planners Showcase 2021, new vendors we encountered, and not being sponsored by Dr. Pepper or not getting free mimosas. From reptile exhibits to picking flowers...there's an event for everyone.
