Of course I'm biased...Gainesville is a great location for hosting meetings and conferences! However, even in my jaded "You Go Gainesville" mode, I am realistic that meetings in the 50 to 250 delegate count range are truly our ideal candidates. That's why I'm so thrilled to be casting my request for about 66 appointments with religious meeting planners at the upcoming Rejuvenate Marketplace who are perfect fits for this destination.
It's actually the first time we've attended this show, so imagine how thrilling it was that even before the VisitGainesville requests were submitted, we had already received five requests to meet with us!
We'll report our final appointment results in a couple of weeks; but in the true Rejuvenate spirit...we believe these appointments and the meetings they'll hopefully book in Gainesville shortly thereafter are indeed the answer to many a meeting planners prayer!

Fall Grant Cycle is Officially Complete....
Just as the mercury started to dip here last week, the flurry of fall conference grant applications being turned into the VisitGainesville Offices started heating up! Overall we received close to a dozen entries each vying for the maximum of $10,000. A nice thank you for bringing your meeting delegates to Gainesville, I say!
A Tourist Development Council sub-committee begins reviewing and scoring these applications this month with the results announced the next...so stay tuned. Also the dates for the spring conference grant workshop and cycle will be announced soon -- I suppose this confirms that it's wise to remember that the old adage to remember to "fall back and spring forward" works even in the meeting and conference business!
