Blue Harbor Resort Celebrates Global Meetings Industry Day

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - March 28, 2023 - PRLog -- Blue Harbor Resort is championing that "Meetings Matter" on Global Meetings Industry Day, an international day of advocacy held on March 30 to showcase the essential nature and incredible value created by business meetings, trade shows, conferences and conventions.

This year's theme, "Meetings Matter," highlights the numerous benefits of in-person meetings—such as economic growth, deeper business connections and the sharing of knowledge and ideas that positively impact society.

Meetings are a key driver of the economy and workforce, playing a critical role in fueling other industries. In 2022, professional events drove nearly $100 billion in travel spending nationwide, accounting for 38% of all business travel spending. That spending directly supports 600,000 American jobs and helps power small and local businesses. In Sheboygan, meetings are essential in stimulating the region's economy and bringing in new visitors who stay in other Sheboygan hotels, eat in local restaurants, and shop in local stores.

Here are five ways communities around the world, including Sheboygan, are elevating the #MeetingsMatter theme on March 30.

1.       Hosting events spotlighting local businesses and communities

2.       Highlighting valuable meetings

3.       Posting on social media about the power of meetings

4.       Engaging with elected officials

5.       Turning social media banners blue, the official color of GMID

Messaging on social media is organized using hashtags #MeetingsMatter and #GMID2023.
