ConventionSouth’s July issue includes refreshing ideas for meetings to inspire—whether on the water, in a small market, or accompanied by pets. For a “pawsitively perfect” event, learn how pet-friendly hotels are making business travel easier for attendees and their furry friends. The cover story, “On the Waterfront,” looks at how boat and barge venues can make a splash with your next group event. “Small Markets, Big Business” reveals how small markets can make a big splash with event planners. From local charm and history to hospitality and personal service, second- and third-tier cities bring their own unique appeal while still providing the conveniences and amenities of large host destinations. Plus, this month our Event Planners’ Guides explore Mississippi and West Virginia. Read all this and more in our July digital edition, at ConventionSouth.com. https://lnkd.in/gJUpUARY
