The organizer identifies meeting professionals, meeting and incentive buyers, and suppliers as attendees.
Suppliers outside the region or with no budget for hosted-buyer appointments would get less, and planners wanting educational content will find it built around appointments and networking.
Meeting planners and destination suppliers at hosted-buyer events usually wear business casual or business attire, with regional touches such as boots acceptable in Texas and the Southwest, and comfortable shoes for long appointment days.
