July 2018

In Smart Meetings' July issue, don't miss the survival guide for a brand new meetings world. We share the secrets on how to thrive in a post-10-percent commission, virtual-meetings-obsessed, experience-demanding reality. We also talk to top speaker experts about finding keynotes that will resonate with attendees.

In this issue, we also dive into the world of hotel renovations' creativity, explore creative South Carolina and get our feet wet in ageless Maryland. We not only discuss amazing destinations that might not be on your radar yet—we also tackle the Real ID tech, choosing presenters for your event and making attendees' preferences work. Don't miss out on this super-informative issue.
