Dear Mr. Johnson:
They'll be doing it in the boardroom, the backroom, the mailroom, around the water cooler. After the next big meeting you plan, they'll be talking about you Mr. Johnson.
Planning a successful seminar, meeting or convention can give you important new visibility in your company. It can gain you recognition throughout your organization and industry as an executive who knows how to get things done -- how to do things right.
A successful meeting can give you a real leg up the ladder. And when you do it the professional way -- with the OFFICIAL MEETING FACILITIES GUIDE -- you'll be amazed at the time, money, effort, energy, work and worry you'll save for yourself, your secretary and your whole staff.
What do I mean when I say "the professional way?" Well, the OFFICIAL MEETING FACILITIES GUIDE comes to you twice a year from Ziff-Davis, publishers of the definitive Meetings & Conventions magazine for full-time professional meeting planners and the Official Hotel & Resort Guide, which has become the "bible" of top-flight travel professionals.
The OFFICIAL MEETING FACILITIES GUIDE gives you the same kind of information in the same way they demand. Accurate information. Authoritative information. Up-to-the-minute information.
Instantly accessible and usable information.
