The white paper includes an in-depth look at topics that include: • What persuades people to attend a conference • How conferences are changing to adapt to the needs and demands of attendees • Why space and design are crucial for collaboration and learning • What conference innovators predict in the long term According to Vining, the paper was produced to “continue to educate other professionals in the meetings industry on innovative trends and how to keep their attendees satisfied and engaged. It is meant to change some long-held concepts about meetings and conferences and to increase attendance and participation at conferences, particularly in this difficult rough economy.” The entire white paper, “The Future of the Meetings Industry: Why Certain Conference Innovators Are Winning” is available at: http://www.conferencecenter.com/ More about The National Conference Center Just 12 miles from Dulles International Airport and 45 minutes from Washington, DC, The National Conference Center, operated by ARAMARK Conference Centers, features a secure, distraction- Each of the 250 meeting rooms – representing 265,000 square feet of flexible meeting space -- features high-speed Internet access, individual climate control, advanced conference technology, and sophisticated presentation technology with on-site audio/visual and IT support.
