meetings Optimism my views #IMEX AMERICA

IMEX AMERICA: What factors bring about your optimism?

Bryan Bruce: "Business travel has stabilized. businesses have put off many face to face meetings as long as they can. there is a perfect storm brewing where businesses and organizations flood back to the buy a meeting mindset and gobble up some of that great availability and pricing. we anticipate that rates will then start to creep back up as hotels begin catching up to normal pace levels."

IMEX AMERICA: In your opinion, is there any one reason above any other that is likely to guarantee the long term growth of the USA Meetings and Events industry?

Bryan Bruce: "Keep the USA safe."

IMEX AMERICA: Complete this statement: "When I think about the next 6 months I realize..."

Bryan Bruce: "We must be prepared for the huge rush of meetings demand that is coming our way. Also be preparing our clients for the increased demand that is certain to pinch availability and once again drive up the price of meetings."
