2026 September Meeting Planner Roundtable

The Good, The Bad, and the "Please, Never Do this Again" of Meetings - Part 2

Sponsored by:  Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront

Panelists: Christina Michael, Laura Gonzalez Pena & Beth Anne Trombetta 

Moderator: Shelly Joines, CMP

Successful meetings rely on strong collaboration between planners and partners, but even the teams encounter challenges along the way. 

This candid panel discussion will bring together meeting planners from a variety of sectors and a hotel sales professional to share real-world experiences, lessons learned, and strategies for stronger partnership. We'll explore what meetings thrive, where communication can break down, and how both planners and suppliers can work more effectively together. 

Attendees will gain practical takeaways, clearer expectations, and actionable insights to elevate their future events. 

Free for Members - $55 for Future Members
