Hoosier Hospitality Invites Exploration

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:04:57 +0000

Hoosier hospitality is real. It’s not just a catchy alliteration that Indiana residents toss around willy-nilly. Hoosiers take their hospitality seriously and frequently use the phrase when touting the benefits of holding meetings and events in The Hoosier State. Also the nickname of Indiana University athletic teams, the moniker “Hoosier” may have originated as a slang term for a rough countryman or backwards place, but has also been used to describe pioneering qualities such as self-reliance and bravery. Today, the Hoosiers embrace their roots with a welcoming spirit. Learn more about Indiana’s best places to meet and unknown facts that make its cities special.

Local Charm, Worldly Edge

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:04:18 +0000

By virtue of its location alone, Greenville is a convenient destination for meetings and conventions. South Carolina’s sixth-largest city and the center of the state’s largest metropolitan area is halfway between Charlotte, N.C., and Atlanta, Ga. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills along Interstate 85, Greenville has seemingly adopted Charlotte’s business savvy and Atlanta’s charming urban chic, which combine with state-of-the-art venues to create a meetings mecca.

Planning Abroad: Doing Business in Copenhagen

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:04:24 +0000

Just offshore from Copenhagen are two vastly different symbols. One, a diminutive mermaid, gazes out from a wave-washed rock. She is perhaps the city’s most revered (and photographed) icon, a reminder that this is the birthplace of many of the world’s beloved fairy tales. The other symbol is a long arc of sleek wind turbines rising from the sea. They speak to a technology-enhanced future and Denmark’s commitment to making it leading-edge green and sustainable.

Planning Abroad: The Best of Sydney

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:04:05 +0000

Few harbors in the world are as recognizable as Sydney’s, with its singular opera house and majestic span bridge—the world’s widest. Cosmopolitan and chic with a vibe that’s both lively and laid-back, Sydney is easy to fall in love with. Other world-class cities overlook the water, but few utilize that attribute to such engaging effect. Sydney Harbour is bustling with activity—ferries, sailboats, surfers, seaplanes, cruise ships and water taxis come and go, and everywhere on shore there are pathways to walk, run or stroll, as well as gardens and eateries where the view sets an evocative scene.
