I know it's not Tuesday quite yet, but one of my co-workers here at Montreat passed along this article, and I had to share. The Christian Camp and Conference Association publishes InSite, a bi-monthly magazine for professionals who work at places like Montreat.
One of the main functions of a conference center is to make the conference or retreat experience easy and meaningful for the guests. This article by Ray Schnickels, who is executive director at Canby Grove Christian Camp and Conference Center, features ways that institutions can provide this service to their customers. I would love to incorporate some of these ideas into what we do, and I hope they will be helpful to any other event planners who may be reading this.
What I really wanted to highlight is the list below, written by a guest group who found these ideas useful. You can also read the full article "Supporting Group Success" here.
What do you do to publicize your event or to ensure its success? What might conference centers do better in helping you to plan and facilitiate your retreat?
