TESTIMONIALS

My first experience with Smart Meetings surpassed my expectations. The speaker was creative, engaging and full of information! The receptions were perfection, lunch was amazing and we were able to check out an amazing property. I look forward to continuing to build a relationship with the Smart Meetings team and brand!

– Brittany, The Meeting Standard

What a wonderful opportunity to build new relationships in the industry, explore a new destination/venue, and experience quality educational sessions and activities!

-Juana Anderson, Bostrom

Smart Meetings offered the opportunity to meet with Meeting Planners from around the nation that are looking to book business in Texas. Not only did it offer an incredible opportunity to meet and talk shop, it also allowed space for real friendships to form that are so important in the work we do. We will be back at future Smart Meetings events after a great first show.
