Read It on Focus First!

Lots has been brewing on the Web side of the operation, with the debut of a blog starring industry notables as well as Meetings Focus staffers, along with a particularly nifty Twitter feed that serves as yet another channel to deliver the most timely meetings industry news from sources worldwide.

The new Twitter feed in particular has got me excited, as we’re tapping into the lovingly obsessive meetings information warehouse known as Joan Eisenstodt, who also moderates our Meetings Focus Forum online community. Both Joan and the editorial staff are populating this new info stream, named Focus Forum Feed, on a daily basis with thought-provoking meetings industry items—both serious and head-scratchingly curious.

So head over to www.meetingstoday.com to get your news fix on!
