Meetings Media, publisher of Meetings East, Meetings MidAmerica, Meetings South, and Meetings West magazines, and MeetingsFocus.com, presents a free webinar Wednesday, May 28, featuring one of the top educators in the meetings industry, Loretta Lowe, CMP.

Lowe, a nearly 20-year meetings industry veteran, has mastered a number of roles in the field of meeting planning, including destination management, incentive planning, trade show coordination, association management, and corporate meeting management. Her company, Loretta Lowe Meeting Planning and Special Events, handles contract assignments for organizations needing meeting and event management assistance.

The Cost-Effective Planning webinar, perfect for both the novice planner and those who just want to brush up on their skills, will cover the ins and outs of effective cost-cutting strategies, and is especially relevant in today’s economic environment.

As organizations cut back on spending, meeting and event planners are being asked to do more with less. This webinar will help you learn the following:

• Reduce meeting expenses with effective contract negotiations
• Reduce food and beverage costs
• Identify where excessive meeting expenses might be trimmed
• Put on a "champagne" event with a "beer" budget!

Lowe’s presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session, so you can get answers to your specific questions.
