TYPES OF MEETINGS
“If you are a supplier that is looking for an efficient and productive use of your time, then the Smart Meetings events are a must. The qualification process they apply in planner selection is very good and if you make the most of your time during the event, you will certainly develop productive relationships. Even if I had the time and resources to qualify, contact, invite and follow-up this number of planners for my own event, it would cost me three-times what I commit to Smart Meetings.”
