The Small-Meetings Guide to Working with CVBs/DMOs

This webcast originally ran in June 2019.

Almost every CVB/DMO has a dedicated small-meetings department. Sponsored by the Oklahoma City CVB, this webcast offers planners of such gatherings tips and best practices to more effectively work with such departments, with the aim of diving deep into the host destination to create experiences that will have a big impact on attendees.
