When Researching Meeting Venues and Event Planning...

One of your biggest challenges as a meeting planner is to FIND the right location for your next meeting, whether large or small. It is time consuming and often frustrating to find the right meeting space, the correct space, at the best cost. Well, you've come to the right place. empowerMINT.com is powered by the BEST convention & visitor bureaus, representing each of the nation's finest meeting destinations. And they exist to help you FIND the perfect hotel or conference locations. All for FREE. So what's the catch?

The services of our convention and visitor bureaus are not FREE at all... but they are FREE to you, the meeting planner, because as not-for-profit organizations or government agencies, their services are already paid for by local hotel lodging taxes or assessments. So WHY NOT take advantage of the local advice and services our convention and visitor bureaus have to offer.
