LIVE 2008 Birmingham

Thanks to everyone who attended this phenomenal event! We had a blast in the “Ham.” If you missed it, don’t fret. One of our attendees, Erica Prewett, wrote this great blog post about her experiences on the road with PYM. And we’ll be posting pictures and summaries soon.

You deserve it!

Every great meeting begins with one key element: an extraordinary planner. We know there are challenges. That’s why we’re here to help. Our PYM LIVE 2008 Birmingham Event will show you how to take your meetings from ordinary to extraordinary, and receive the recognition you deserve!

Join us for our informal and educational half-day event at the gorgeous Wynfrey Hotel. Expand your local and out-of-state meetings resources at our intimate tradeshow. Enjoy a fabulous gourmet lunch, and the phenomenal educational keynote “Prove Your Worth As A Meeting Planner,” presented by PYM’s own Editorial Director, Kristi Casey Sanders.

This event promises to be fun and rewarding. (Did I mention the fabulous door prizes?) And after a few short hours, you’ll be free to go back to work with new knowledge, ideas, friends, and maybe even an exciting prize.

I look forward to seeing you in Birmingham!
