Convention study will be unveiled

I will be attending a meeting July 16th sponsored by the Fox Cities Visitor's and Convention Bureau and the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce. They will unveil study findings on whether the Fox Cities should build a Convention Center. Convention, Sports & Leisure International, a consulting firm from Wayzata, MN was retained earlier this year to conduct the study.

The email invitation indicates CSL will share:

  • An overview of the current convention situation in the Fox Cities
  • What meeting planners think about the Fox Cities
  • The amount of demand for large meeting spaces
  • A "what if" scenario using several sites in the Fox Cities and how they stack up against the needs of meeting planners.

I will report back after this meeting.
