I have been interning at a third party meeting and incentive planning company called Strategic Meeting and Incentives. It is small company that is owned by 3 women partners. I have learned so much in the past 3 weeks about meeting planning. I have really been focused in on a large meeting coming up in April with Scottsdale Insurance Company with over 1000 attendees. I am currently working very hard on SPECS which are sent to the hotel to make sure all the rooms are set up correctly, the proper AV equipment is in place and also the correct Food and Beverage are in the room. This has really opened my eyes to all of the small important details that can easily make or break and conference/meeting.
I am very fortuate that my company has offered to take me on an incentive trip to Puerto Rico in April. I'm so excited to learn about the incentive side of corporate meetings and all of the fun activites that are planned with the trip. Also the elaborate gift bags that each attendee is able to take home. I've been working on these gift bags which include flat screen TV's and other modern technologies!

Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteHope your internship is going well! I just read your first blog and I am so excited for you!! It sounds like you've been extremely busy organizning your company's upcoming meeting in April, I hope that everything is going well and that it is looking great so far.
Also I'm so jealous that you get a chance to go to Puerto Rico! It's a beautiful destination with many beaches and very nice people, I wish I could go too :(
Anyway just wanted to wish you the best of luck with your SIC meeting and I look forward to reading more of your blogs!!
Gift bags...with flat screen TVs? And people think we're in an economic crisis! Where exactly does your company get the money for that... does it come from outside suppliers or within? I think it's amazing that your company is taking you to Puerto Rico. Enjoy your time there and learn all you can =)
ReplyDeleteHi Christine!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your company is allowing you to jump right in and learn everything possible about the industry. That is very exciting you are able to attend the Incentive trip. Will you and your supervisors be heading out early to prepare? Im very excited to hear more about it!
