This show is geared to the organizations without formal event planners and it’s an eye-opener! We touch on critical issues related to budgeting and the legally binding contracts you sign with hotels and other venues. Though events can be fun, they’re not to be taken lightly. My Minneapolis-based guests are Kathleen Sheridan of Sheridan Association & Meeting Services (952-472-4762, http://[email protected]) and Melanie Weber of the Crowne Plaza Northstar Hotel (612-338-2288 http://[email protected]).
