“We are very pleased by the number of destinations that have signed up to exhibit at Meetings Quest in Atlantic City,” said Timothy Schneider, president and CEO of Schneider Publishing, which publishes Association News and organizes Meetings Quest. ”From Newark in the East to Bloomington, Minnesota, in the Midwest to Denver and Albuquerque in the West, we are seeing interest from destinations around the country. We look forward to connecting meeting planners with these prospective host cities and many others.”

According to Schneider, destinations that have committed to Meetings Quest in Atlantic City include Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, Valley Forge and Plano, Texas. Meetings Quest will include an Opening Celebration on the iconic Atlantic City Boardwalk, a half-day of hot-topic educational programming featuring expert presenters, a motivational keynote address, a luncheon and an afternoon appointment-based expo.

In Atlantic City, Darrell Gehrt of CrowdCompass by Cvent, Kathy Armistead Olen of Atticus Brand Partners, Josh Randle of the Miss America Organization and John Wentzell of Spectra will provide unique insights into maximizing every aspect of the attendee experience. In addition, a session on crisis management and event security will feature Steven Hacker, author of the monthly “Association Doctor” column for Association News and the former president of the International Association of Exhibitions & Events. The keynote address will feature seven-time Olympic medalist Shannon Miller, who will discuss how the gold-medal mindset leads to victory, whether at the Olympic Games, in an exhibition hall or a boardroom. Meetings Quest will conclude with a drawing for cash prizes and a Departure Lounge, which will provide a final opportunity for business networking.
