Have you ever wondered what exactly a convention and visitors bureau is and how a group like FCCLA chooses where they are going to host their convention? Take this opportunity to participate in the first ever mobile workshop with the sales and services teams from Visit Springfield, The Doubletree Hotel and the BOS Center! In this fun formatted walking workshop you’ll learn who we are, what we do and why collaboration and communication are key when promoting our destination! Agenda: 9:50am Please arrive in the lobby of the Doubletree Hotel. We will leave promptly at 10am for the Visitor Center (CVB Office, 109 North 7th) Dress appropriately for an outdoor walk. Following the Visitor Center, we will head to the BOS Center where we will go behind the scenes and meet with the team from both the BOS and the Doubletree to learn how they collaborate to offer the best experience for the meeting attendees. Finally, we’ll return to the Doubletree Hotel lobby where you’ll receive one of their famous Doubletree cookies and continue your day.
