COVID-19: It’s a meeting planner’s market

This year, most companies and associations have postponed or canceled their group meetings and conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these same companies are in a holding pattern, waiting for the crisis to pass and to see how their market rebounds.

Meanwhile, hotels, conference and convention centers sit empty, idle. What does this mean for you as a conference planner? The market is yours! Never has the hospitality industry had so much availability and been so open to highly negotiable contracts, minimums and comp space.
