Chapter+8

** Information from Chapter 8 to include in final project ** - What **//leading trends//** does your conference utilize (ex. streaming videos on the Web site, healthy foods being served at meal time, etc.)? My show uses streamed videos in it's website as well as seamless registration for transportation, accommodations, and ancillary tours.

- With the current economy, your event faces the possibility of reduced attendance. Using the scenarios discussed in Chapter 8 (lecture and textbook), what action steps (minimum of THREE) would you suggest the conference organizers implement? 1) The show could create more package deals for the ancillary events. At this point in time each event must be paid for separately. 2) The show can partner with more of the local restaurants and nearby attractions. Maybe create a booklet of coupons for the attendees. 3) The show could have an event that is more of a general party or a themed party at the end of the show as well as the sofi Awards. Some attendees may not be interested in the sofi Awards and so would not be inclined to stay till the end of the show just for that.
