The Big Apple. If you’ve never been there it really should be on your bucket list. New York City is indeed a city that never sleeps. Event planning NYC requires organizational skills beyond belief. You can literally feel the energy as you stand on a busy street corner in Manhattan and watch all the hustle and bustle that’s going on around you. If you’re taking a group to NYC then it’s strongly recommended that you hire a local professional.

My family sometimes laughs at me when I travel to cities that I’ve never visited before. The reason they laugh is because I love to take those hop on hop off tours that you see in most major cities. I do this because it gives me a great overview of the city in as little as a couple of hours. These tours provide me with enough information so that I can decide where I’d like to go to dinner, what attractions I want to go back and spend more time at, as well as provide me a good overview and history of each city.

For event planners, just executing the meeting itself is enough of a task to keep you busy. But throw in a new city each time the meeting is held and you’re adding a lot to an event planner’s plate. And that’s where Convention And Visitors Bureaus (CVB’s) come into play. A CVB is a great resource for meeting and event planners. NYCgo.com is New York’s official website for both individual and group travelers. Typically a CVB is made up of members from the community. Of course these members pay to be part of the CVB and, in turn, get promoted by the CVB to potential meeting and event planners. There are a great resource for searching and booking hotels, attractions and other suppliers related to the event industry. I always tell any clients to look at the CVB site first before making any decisions about which suppliers to use in a particular city.
