“I wouldn’t say there is one ‘greatest’ meeting planning resource at this juncture, but general event experience and learning from programs are both invaluable as resources. For looks and ideas, we love meeting as a team to brainstorm event concepts, in addition to browsing the internet to stay informed on the latest event design and production trends for inspiration.” — Elizabeth Giron, director of sales, Bixel & Company
“The greatest resource I’ve always supported is association involvement and maintaining relationships.” — Dianne Devitt, The DND Group Inc.

“I would imagine everyone would say this: the internet! Following that, I would say the resources I have created through years of networking. Tapping someone else’s experience is the fastest way to what I am seeking.” —David Jefferys, president and CEO of the Altus Agency and founder of the LGBT Meeting Professional Association
“A rested me! A good night’s sleep is imperative for clear thinking, focus and creativity. Without rest, it is difficult to select top choices in resources because all of the information we gather becomes cluttered in our minds. Even meditating for five minutes helps to sharpen our decision-making capabilities.” —Debra Duneier, president, LEED GA, of EcoChi
