Los
Angeles, CA – October 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / The TEAMS
’16 Conference & Expo—the world’s leading conference and expo for
the sports-event industry—has scored an approval rating of more than 98%
among attendees completing the event’s post-show survey. Presented by SportsTravel
and hosted by the Atlantic City Sports Commission and Meet AC, TEAMS ’16
was held at Harrah’s Waterfront Conference Center in Atlantic City, September
26–29.
In
the survey, attendees commented on the “fun, energetic atmosphere” at TEAMS,
which left attendees “super impressed with the attendance and overall quality
of the conference.” One attendee raved that TEAMS was the best event he’d
attended from the standpoint of return on investment in the last five years.
Others used phrases like “top-shelf,” “exceeded expectations,” “fabulous,”
“excellent,” “fantastic” and “flawlessly executed” to describe their TEAMS
experiences.
“For
a larger conference, TEAMS still has an intimate feeling and plenty of
opportunities to network,” said Kyle Weiser of Visit Salina. “TEAMS was
a great opportunity for our business to talk directly to organizations
that fit squarely in our target market,” said Scott Stream of Image Inflators.
“I
can honestly say we were able to get more done in three days than we ever
thought possible,” commented event organizer Casey Taker of Open Water
Planet. “You guys rock,” said Julie Bolfa of Destination Toledo. “I love
TEAMS!” Sean Wolters, organizer of the Savage Race series, echoed Bolfa’s
sentiments. “If I could attend only one conference each year,” said Wolters,
“it would be TEAMS.”
“We
are delighted that our attendees had such a tremendous and valuable experience
in Atlantic City,” said Timothy Schneider, president and CEO of Schneider
Publishing, which publishes SportsTravel and organizes the TEAMS
Conference & Expo. “The fact that TEAMS ’16 scored more than 98%, not
only in its overall rating but also in the specific areas of conference
organization and conference affordability, reaffirms TEAMS’ leadership
position in the sports-event industry.”
“We
thank our destination partners at the Atlantic City Sports Commission and
Meet AC, as well as our attendees, exhibitors and sponsors for helping
us produce such a successful conference,” continued Schneider. “We are
honored that so many leading organizations in the sports-event industry
choose to align their brands with SportsTravel and TEAMS, and encourage
those who are not currently doing so to consider our time-tested brands
as platforms for their sports-marketing efforts,” concluded Schneider.
Hosted
by Visit Orlando, TEAMS ’17
will be held October 30–November 2, 2017, in Orlando. For more information
