Welcome to the 2008 PCMA Annual Meeting
“Creating Possibilities” at PCMA’s 52nd Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA.
Get ready to “Create Possibilities” for yourself, your organization and your events at the 2008 Annual Meeting in spectacular Seattle! As the first supplier partner member to chair the Annual Meeting Program Committee (AMPC), I am thrilled to invite you to join us as we explore the numerous possibilities that lie ahead in our industry.
We’ve heard from many that the Toronto meeting was the best in years…and that is a reputation we hope to improve upon. We firmly believe that PCMA’s Annual Meeting should be known not just as a place to receive education, but as a testing ground for meeting professionals. Be prepared for the new, unique ways we engage you this year. You will certainly take home creative ways to deliver better results for your organization.
Discover how you can build your attendance, expand your meetings into new international markets, motivate your team and successfully tackle even the most difficult negotiations. If you’re looking for cutting-edge educational experiences, inspiring general session speakers, panel discussions, and numerous opportunities to share ideas and best practices, then join us in Seattle.
The AMPC, along with our partners at Seattle’s Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, have worked hard to assemble an Annual Meeting experience with an emphasis on innovation and creativity – striving to advance the level of education. Choose from more than 80 educational sessions in 12 key topic areas.
Just as important, the Annual Meeting offers a dynamic community, with networking opportunities for everyone. Whether you’re a meeting professional or supplier partner, industry veteran or just starting your career, you’ll have the chance to learn alongside your colleagues and be inspired to “Create Possibilities.” Don’t miss PCMA’s 52nd Annual Meeting January 13-16 in metronatural Seattle.
P.S. Make plans to stay through Thursday and attend the Wednesday special events including the general session delivered by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. , the ‘can’t-miss’ evening closing event , and a special performance from the hilarious award-winning actor Jason Alexander!
