By: Wayne Outlaw
Several years ago, it was predicted that video and the Internet would dramatically reduce in-person meetings, making them almost obsolete. This, like many other predictions, has not been accurate. Even with post-9/11 travel issues and a challenging economy, the ability to meet face-to-face, network with colleagues, [...]]]></description>

Imagine you are lying face down as your masseuse gently smoothes away the stresses of your day. Instead of recorded music, you listen to the sea breaking on the rocks just metres from your Caribbean seaside massage hut. A soft breeze gently caresses your body. [...]]]></description>

 Are they too much NATURE and not enough MEETING?
By: Beverly Beuermann-King, CSP
  Exotic destinations can be beneficial in attracting, engaging and retaining participants.
