Tips from the Pros-Ground Transportation

The overall success of your next meeting or event often depends on the most overlooked facet-ground transportation. First impressions are everything. Before your guests even set foot in their destination, it's how they got there that sets the tone for the entire meeting. Two recent news articles highlight the importance of working with the right transportation provider. The recent edition of Illinois Meetings + Events 'Seven Habits of Highly Efficient People Movers' provides tips & techniques for building the perfect transportation strategy. Also, 'On The Road Again' from Corporate & Incentive Travel offers best practices and real life examples for working with ground transportation providers.

"Everyone assumes transportation is an easy thing. It’s not as simple as renting six buses for six hours. It’s hard to make all the pieces fit together to make the experience enjoyable." -Jay Weidner, Director of Sales, On The Scene-Illinois Meetings + Events, Summer 2008
