 | • 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. |
If you have not partnered with a CVB before, you may be wondering exactly what the benefits are. CVBs help planners save time and money with multiple planner service options. From sales teams who advise on hotels, meeting facilities, and convention facilities prior to the event to registration staffing and printing services during the event and post-event survey analysis after, they can almost do it all.
Make it a priority to reach out to your local CVB or CVB in the area you are looking to host your next meeting or event. They are happy to help you make the most of your budget, align you with hyper-local experiences, and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for your group.
