• What does a CVB do? CVB stands for ‘Convention and Visitors Bureau.’ These, mostly, non-profit organizations are charged with representing their specific location. CVBs give planners access to an array of services and become an extension of the planning team. From site inspections to service provider bids and hotel negotiations to unique experience opportunities, CVBs are one of the best resources and partners a planner can utilize at every stage of a meeting or event. |
