What we provide
Free regional resources for meeting professionals
MEET is where corporate, association, medical, education, government, and independent planners check the region before they book it.
Published from St. Louis since 1999. The MEET family of products covers meetings, events, entertainment, and travel from the group-business side — print issues, digital editions, and a site meant to be used while a program is still being sourced.
Suppliers advertise here because this is not casual browsing. Planners are comparing venues, hotels, and services. Familiarity, over time, is how that decision gets made.
For suppliers
Reach the planners
who actually
make the booking.
MEET connects venues and service partners with planners at the moment they are sourcing, comparing, and selecting. One-off impressions do not do that work. A desk they return to does.
Print. Digital. The directory they keep.
