“I participated in Encounter last year and found it to be extremely beneficial! The quality of the planners and suppliers that the team put together were exceptional. As a supplier in this case, I was able to connect with top planners that were brought in and get in front of them, which has led to a very successful partnership on many levels and help increase my volume and level of sales. The team does a fantastic job at organizing the events surrounding the program to appeal to every level and give everyone a chance to really spend quality time together, which is pertinent, as you know this is such a relationship-based industry. As I travel all over the world meeting planners and seeing product, I have to say, this is one of the ones I look forward to the most as I know it is absolutely worth my time, investment and commitment. a"
