Start Local, Meet City Club

The global meetings industry is experiencing an unprecedented economic and political upheaval. The Treasury Department is looking at regulations on events, meetings and conferences for those companies receiving federal government loans. MPI records show that in the US alone, the meeting and event industry is responsible for 15% of all travel, creates over an estimated $200 billion in spending annually, generates nearly 2.4 million jobs and provides around $40 billion in tax revenue. The new stigma of having meetings and events may unnecessarily reduce or eliminate their use.

Let’s keep our economy strong, let’s start local, and let’s meet City Club. Your club dollars and event monies attribute to local and state taxes. The Club will assist you and your company in being prudent in meeting and event planning, having reasonable expenses and justifiable resources. We can also help you to measure your return on investment if needed. The meetings and events industry doesn’t stimulate meetings, we facilitate meetings. The uncertainty of investments, the economy and your business is daunting in this time of recession.

Meetings are the best way to drive business and deepen relationships. Gatherings are excuses to connect with clients and employees. These events are not irresponsible but innovative and integral to new business opportunities and outcomes. Keeping your customers loyal to you during a recession is necessary.
