Today on Global Meetings Industry Day, EvSo is highlighting why #MeetingsMatter to businesses both large & small—fostering a competitive edge & boosting revenue gains. According to Oxford Economics, for every dollar invested in business travel, U.S. companies experience a $5.90 return. Face-to-face meetings offer wide-ranging benefits to both the economy and businesses, including helping organizations build a competitive edge and increase bottom-line revenue gains. Meetings drive education, knowledge and communal understanding on critical subjects. Strong relationships are the key to sustained business success—and meeting face-to-face is the best way to strengthen them. Meetings create a shared sense of mission and purpose, foster empathy across organizational lines and create camaraderie that positions organizations for success. Meetings and events help connect people to one another—enabling employees to grow and enjoy experiences while reconnecting with peers. The benefits of meetings range from the tangible to intangible—benefiting local economies and businesses while simultaneously fueling individual growth, long-lasting connections and mutual respect. #GMID2024 #hotels #travel #meetings #events #meetingsindustry #travelindustry #makingadifference

I had a fascinating conversation with Becky Woods, SHRM-SCP,GPHR, Global Mobility Senior Director at ADP, who generously shared her expertise on securing budget approval for conferences.

Plan conferences at least three years in advance to optimize attendance and budgeting, ensuring that important events are covered consistently. ?? By combining conference attendance with other business trips, your can team reduce costs and maximize the value of each trip. ﹩After conferences, presenting a summary of key takeaways and potential program improvements is a great way to demonstrate the value of attendance.
