MM&E St. Louis Regional Expo 2013 – Mark Your Calendar
On May 20 and 21, 2013, the Missouri Meetings & Events St. Louis Regional Expo will take place at the Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel. In addition to networking face-to-face with key suppliers and vendors, attendees also will have the opportunity to attend a wide range of presentations by nationally recognized speakers.
Our expo theme this year is “The New Age of Meetings and Events.” As a meeting planner (or supplier), keeping up with the rapid changes in the industry is becoming increasingly important. There are new technologies, new and newly updated venues – this year’s St. Louis Expo will be in one of them – and new industry guidelines for everything from medical meetings to green and sustainable meeting practices.
The New Age of Meetings and Events is here now, and the MM&E St. Louis Expo will help usher you into today’s future.
Visit the Expo home page for more information and registration.
