This month’s Meetings MidAmerica is chock-full of interesting Midwest event options, representing just about any flavor your group desires. You might even say it has a cornucopia of unique facilities, ranging from the urban—and urbane—offerings of Madison, Wis., to the more "down to Earth" affairs on offer in the agricultural meetings segment.
Our cover story, exploring ag meetings, discovers that despite a down economy, this segment is thriving in locations throughout the Midwest, and key destinations are angling to be amenable to these unique-profile events. To serve the clientele attending a typical agricultural industry meeting, cities must have lots of open exhibition space and a wide range of facilities, from wide-open areas for livestock to multipurpose arenas, grandstands and traditional meeting rooms. Even the aforementioned Madison, which has its own standalone story in this issue, is tapping the ag meetings market.
Filling out this very diverse issue are features on spas, which are massaging their menus to bring more cost-saving options to groups, and some of the top museum options offered at colleges and universities.
No matter what profile your group has, we’ve got ’em covered in the May issue of Meetings MidAmerica!
