By Sasha Sook, CMP, Summit Executive Centre Speakers and facilitators are what makes the success of your event and keeps the attendees talking for months and years to come. Speakers have many requirements in order to perform at their best potential. I wanted to interview a few instructors and facilitators to see if there has been any changes in their needs and what they want us to know when we are booking a speaker. Maxine Fuller of Maxine Fuller LLC., Stacey Hanke of Stacey Hanke Inc. and Shawn Woods of Shawn K. Woods & Associates have provided their insights on what they think has changed.

By Ted Miller, HMCC, CHME, CHSP, CGTP, CGMP, Enterprise Holdings Question: I am a corporate planner and book meetings of 50 to 250 people. What value does a convention bureau give me? Answer: Booking meetings of your size can be very time consuming if you do not know which properties will best fit your needs. A convention bureau represents all of the hotels in the city and can send your meeting requirements only to the hotels that can meet your needs.
