About Chelsea Boot

Connecting People, Places and Ideas is our Business Many people work in the meetings and events industry, ranging from dedicated professionals whose full-time jobs are to plan for their organizations to the occasional planner who is asked to organize events as an additional facet of his or her job. No matter who is in charge, however, every meeting has the same expectations: Meeting goals must be achieved. The event must have the look, feel and functionality the organization envisions. Our Marketplace events and conferences, as well as our magazines, were created with this backdrop in mind. Regardless of the experience level of the planners, we want to help them get it right by giving them the training and knowledge they need. The databases we build provide proprietary insight to advertisers looking to reach each of our niche audiences. We understand the touch points of our users: what meetings they produce, what events they attend for their own development and their meeting needs, and what content they look for. This information allows us to create a profile that helps our partners take the next step to connect with the right audience. Our success and that of our clients is based on this customized matchmaking, a hallmark of the Connect experience. Our Clients Include: • Destination Marketing Organizations/CVBs • Sports Commissions • State Tourism Departments • Attractions • Hotels • Resorts • Unique Venues • Arenas • Convention Centers
