During #GMID21, journalists were given an opportunity to tour #LasVegas’ new @allegiantstadium.
As #eventprofs that attended @pcmahq’s #pcmacl in #SanFrancisco, #Pittsburgh and #Nashville have experienced in recent years, stadiums and arenas have great spaces to host a broad array of #meetings and #events. #VegasMeansBusiness in this “arena” as well.

#Biking around the town of @celebration.florida, we encountered local #wildlife including an #alligator, #egret and #owl.
For #eventprofs returning to #Orlando, an extended stay warrants a visit to Celebration. The town provides attendees an opportunity to enjoy dining, to take in the architecture of its homes around the city that channel a time gone by, and have a more old-fashioned type of escape while on vacation.

With #GMID21 approaching, it will come as no surprise to #eventprofs & #meetingprofs that new research shows 77% of #business #travelers prefer face-to-face interaction at conferences, conventions and trade shows. Check out the latest findings from a special study at http://www.VegasMeansBusiness.com/BusinessTravelerStudy

The Washington Monument, earlier tonight.
A popular site for association gatherings - among the myriad of business events @destinationdc attracts - #eventprofs and attendees enjoy experiencing the city’s #monuments, #museums, #arts and cultural offerings when their convenings disperse.

A visit to @jurassicworld at @universalorlando provides guests an opportunity to take a raft ride through #JurassicPark, experience pre-historic #dinosaur life in a tropical climate and potentially cool off prior to returning to the #themepark.
With #health and wellness protocols In place, including masks being required throughout all areas of the parks, social distancing measures and constant hand sanitizer dispensing in each ride, guests have returned en masse to @visitorlando during this “Trifecta” week of #springbreak, #Easter & #Passover holiday #travel.
#eventprofs no doubt are itching to return to #Orlando and its facilities seem eager and ready to welcome groups. Experience at major venues with safety procedures in place since reopening in mid-2020 put the Central #Florida destination at the forefront of rebooting the #meetings & #events industry in the months ahead.

Taking a moment to reflect at the #FandDmag Prime

Taking a moment to reflect at the #FandDmag Prime Site Award-winning @waltdisneyworld @swandolphin Resort.
One of the first resorts to reopen for #meetings & #events groups post-COVID, the Swan (image 1) and Dolphin (image 2) hosted @mls for six weeks in 2020, providing the property a chance to create a “bubble” for the players, coaches & families and to refine its health & safety procedures.
#eventprofs & #meetingprofs have already returned to the property in increasing numbers month over month since January for site visits, planning events as far out as 2027. Read more about the new Reserve tower (image 3, with panned opening in 2023) its #rooftop #event space and the resort in upcoming issues of #FandDmag.

@rockefellercenter has been home to temporary #art exhibitions of note. Presently, (1) a #sculpture by #tomfriedman is #lookingup at (2) the #30rock #skycraper, with #stpatrickscathedral in the background.
There is plenty for #eventprofs to see along the plaza without looking skyward, including (3)the #fountains sprouting water along the way.

#ThrowbackThursday to #onetimeinnola last year, when a #mask market had a different meaning...
These photos, taken outside (and in) the #MardiGras mask market (1& 3) are from the last trip taken by #FandDmag staff prior to the pandemic (during according to some accounts), as well as the last taste of #beignets (2) from @cafedumonde any of us up in New York would savor for a while. We also got a kick out of some of the floats (4&5) for a children's #parade in one of the nearby parishes.
These photos celebrate not only our desire to @visitneworleans once again, but the reopening of @mccno Morial Convention Center for its first event in 320 days.

No, it's not an #iceskating rink, it is the @oculuswtc set up for an after hours private event. It's but one of the many amazing venues that #NYC #eventprofs look forward to utilizing post-pandemic.
(Clearly this photo is from our archives, as the seating wouldn't comply with social distancing standards.) #seeyourcity @nycgo_press @nycgo

While our @meetingsinpr visit has been temporarily postponed, it won't stop us from posting some of the plethora of reasons for #eventprofs to @discoverpuertorico.
The #elyunque #rainforest, rich with plush greenery and native wildlife is home to numerous #waterfalls. Easily accessible by tour bus, #hiking trails can lead visitors to even more natural wonders. The nearby @wyndhamgrandrm resort - which has endless #beaches with event space indoor and out, overlooking the ocean - is close enough to @elyunquenationalforest that in the evenings you can hear the native coqui #frogs calling from the distance.

Before we head back to work this Monday morning, we want to thank @pcmahq for putting together a most memorable #pcmacl. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, thousands of #eventprofs around the globe convened and participated in this year's event, with hybrid sites around the globe including @marinabaysands & @caesarsmeansbusiness.
Hats off to @sherrifk (image from past cover of #FandDmag), the officers and chapter leaders who made Convening Leaders 2021 a success.
