As Senior Planners, we all know that planning effective meetings is so much more than choosing what food is on the menu.  How do you get your seat at the table to drive the strategy for your meetings? How do you then provide the necessary ROI to the powers-that-be to illustrate the value of you and your events?  Watch out for the first ever SPIN learning mob as we tackle these tough questions!
The July Think Tank features Jan Aument, CTSM, who will help you to define just how much you bring to the table.  This will be an interactive session where we will talk about objectives, why they are so important, and why we are so quick to skip this step. Then we’ll share success stories and brainstorm ways to make the process easier.

Everyone will walk away with a better understanding of the importance of setting objectives, keeping your eye on the strategy and how to use them to illustrate the value you add. Plus, you’ll experience a couple fun ways to add interactivity to your meetings.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
