Trends

I think costs will go up and it will get more and more difficult for me to get federal per diem rates.

It is becoming increasingly harder to book rooms/meeting space in the short timeframes.

I feel meetings are going to grow.

The duration of meetings is expanding.

I’m seeing some pricing increasing.

I have observed how much more leverage we’ve had in negotiating room rates this year.

Both budgets and attendance should increase if only 5%-10%.

Some programs are shrinking due to budget constraints and attendee time limitations.
