Speaker: Mike MalinchokCertified Professional Coach, S2K Performance Coaching, LLC
For many who have embarked on researching this area of spend category management, an all too common conclusion reached is that a best-in-class SMMP (Strategic Meetings Management Program) requires hundreds of thousands of dollars of investment, complicated enterprise wide process re-engineering, and years of data collection and patience before the full benefits of the program can be achieved. As a result, many efforts are stalled before they even begin as organizational leaders look at these conclusions and re-evaluate the application of resources and attention to other areas of focus that may yield more timely returns. This session will provide the attendee with actionable ways to infuse the tenets of the best practice models of Strategic Meetings Management Programs (SMMP) into their current organizational situation.
Outcomes:
  • Break apart the SMMP best practice model into prioritized components.
  • Establish three-stage objectives (AIM) for the incorporation of each SMMP component into a working business plan
  • Through a combination of theory and practical exercises, the unique and custom opportunities that an SMMP creates for the attendees organization will unfold in ways that allow immediate actions to be taken with minimal business disruption, exorbitant investment, or tedious delays. 
Special Bonus for Attendees
Those attending the November Dinner Meeting will receive a copy of the White Paper, "The Pragmatist's Guide to SMM - Moving from Theory to ACTION."

(Some of it, however, comes at the expense of other great California cities.) The Chargers announced that they would be relocating from San Diego to LA beginning with the 2017 NFL season. Just 12 months earlier, the Rams had returned to Los Angeles after 20 years in St. Louis. And, so, after more than 20 years without an NFL team, LA suddenly has two. The City of Angels will also be the setting for Star Wars creator George Lucas’ $1-billion Museum of Narrative Art. LA had vied with both Chicago and San Francisco to host the museum, which will house the filmmaker’s sprawling collection of fine and popular art, including Star Wars and Hollywood memorabilia. The futuristic 275,000-square-foot George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art will ...
