MPI Wisconsin Announces February Meeting Overcoming Destination Misperception

You are trying to find a destination for your next big meeting and one of your colleagues brings up Bogota, Colombia?  Another colleague says Miami?  Or let’s say Madison?  Each of those locations would register in your mind differently than it would in the minds of your colleagues. Everyone has their own individual perception based on their mind’s interpretation of information or other personal factors. While perception is not a bad thing it is not reality which could have a major impact on the decision making process.

Join us on Thursday, February 13, 2014 at Holiday Inn Madison at The American Center for an intriguing presentation by Eli Gorin, CMP, CMM on overcoming your thoughts and perceptions about a destination.

Eli Gorin, CMP, CMM is Managing Director of Aventura, Florida-based Hospitality Growth Partners (HGP), a hospitality consulting firm focused on helping organizations make sense of their approach to meetings, through strategic growth consulting, meetings management consulting and training/professional development.
