Welcome to the June/July issue of Meetings Focus East.

As I'm writing this, which always comes at the very end of the production process, I'm getting ready to fly out to Atlantic City for our first Meetings Focus Live! event. And even though the event will have come and gone by the time you've read this, there are three more scheduled for this year, in San Antonio; Naples, Fla.; and Palm Springs, Calif. Head over to www.meetingstoday.com/LiveEvents to find out more about these two-night, three-day hosted buyer events, which boast great educational opportunities, offer CMP credits and even give back to the communities where they're held.

Even if we don't see you at any of the events, enjoy your summer—and this issue of Meetings Focus East!
