You do not want to miss the PYM LIVE Atlanta Event.

Plan Your Meetings, an educational and social resource for meeting planners, is proud to be bringing our highly acclaimed, multi-city annual event back to Atlanta on September 29, 2010 at the Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter at Ravinia from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Our newly formatted educational and interactive event was designed with you in mind. We understand the struggle of being able to leave the office, so as part of our reformation we’ve shortened our events, while providing increased education and networking opportunities for you.

Directly following the trade show and luncheon, we will be continuing our educational breakout series, entitled “Everything you always wanted to know about meetings, but never had the chance to ask.” This town hall-style question & answer session, presented by Kimberly Roberts, CMP, CSEP and Caryn Terradas. They are prepared to tackle all of your meeting questions and challenges.

You will earn continuing education units (CEUs) toward your CMP and CSEP titles by attending this event. Also, as a special take-away gift, each attending planner will receive a PYM thumb drive, loaded with our popular ‘best practices’ editorial stories and planning information.

Space is limited, so register now to ensure your attendance!
