About us
Connect is where events business gets done. We are the senior leader in the meetings, travel and tourism industry, providing successful marketing solutions to a wide variety of clients for four decades. Increase group and business travel by advertising in our award-winning magazines and online where we target the association, corporate, specialty, faith and sports planning markets. Face-to-face events are powerful. They bring people together to learn about new destinations, venues and other resources. They deliver economic impact. They influence, educate and motivate. With our dedicated, in-house Planner Development Team, we are able to ensure that event participants—both buyers and sellers—are qualified and prepared, meaning better return on investment for everyone involved. What we do goes beyond producing conferences and shows. It’s about connecting people involved in travel, destination management, hospitality and events—listening to them, learning what they need to accomplish their goals, and building content, education, resources and relationships. It’s about valuing our clients and their customers—knowing their names, interests, business, values and goals. Start connecting today!
