Face2face is a blog about planning face-to-face meetings, conferences, conventions, and trade shows, plus business travel and hospitality news.
And pinching the pennies harder than ever, according to this writeup of a PKF report: Meeting Planners Struggle To Control Costs. While I don’t often toot our horn here, MeetingsNet does have a great collection of cost-saving tips and budget advice in our Cost Savings/Budgets Special Report. Here are two of my favorites (both were written before the current economic slump, but the ideas are evergreen):

Really love these articles. With the holidays here, the pinch is even greater. I also ran into another site that had creative cost-saving ideas - http://www.a2zmeetingsandevents.com

This is a great topic and article. I clicked the link and read the many ways to be cost effective as well the many suggestions . Glad to see that there is a suggestion to do a cruise for meetings. This is a key in today’s times to provide an event with all the bells & whistles and still come in under budget. The saving on the food cost is the biggest comparison as food is included plus shrimp & lobster are on the menu for NO extra charge. The destination can be used for a team building by charity work when you visit which makes it that more rewarding for all. Check it out and see for your self the cost savings at http://www.seasite.com
