October 2020
The October issue of Smart Meetings is dedicated to the hard-working meeting professionals in all areas of the $1-trillion travel and tourism industry—8 million of whom lost their job to help the country manage the coronavirus crisis. This issue is a message to elected officials that if you give these innovative people the certainty and tools to do their job safely, they can help restart the American economy by doing what they do best, bringing people together. Share your back to meeting story by dropping us a note editor@smartmeetings.com.
