  "What our CVB's Can Do for You!”

  Come join the discussion as our panel of Washington Convention and Visitor’s Bureau experts share how a CVB can support the government meeting planner.

Learn how they are adapting to economic changes and triumphing over obstacles to keep business booming. During the hour, CVBs will identify their challenges both suppliers and planners face while effectively finding solutions in these ever-changing times.

  PNW SGMP Chapter - Jeopardy! A Year in Review

  
  

  Join us for the final meeting of the PNW SGMP Chapter 2023 - 2024 fiscal year.

  Our program will be a fun Jeopardy Game, which will recap all the programs that were presented this past year.  You will have a chance to provide “answers” to questions taken from the programs that were presented all year long.  It will be a wonderful review for those who attended the programs and will provide beneficial meeting planning and management information to those who missed some.  Let your competitive side come out as you vie for the PRIZES awarded to the winning Jeopardy team.

  Your new board will be installed, and the chapter's most coveted awards will be presented. Come see who will win the 2024 Planner of the Year, 2024 Supplier of the Year and who will win the Red and Peggy Meyer Award of Leadership Excellence.

  *Skype/ZOOM will not be available for our Eastern Washington and Boise members.  This is a social event. Please join us and be social!
