This Fourth of July will be America's semiquincentennial and states across the country are creating their own local commissions to host events to celebrate the country's 250th year. Take a look at what U.S. states (and Canada) are doing to celebrate, as well as how meeting professionals can use America250 to advance the meetings industry. Outside of the countrywide celebration, see how attendees can celebrate their own wins at integrated and gaming resorts, as well as what the evolution of event technology means for you and your groups.
