If you are in the event planning industry in this part of the country, chances are you read Northwest Meetings + Events. This is the premier magazine for meetings and events professionals working in the Northwest and published four times a year. You can imagine our delight when the editors decided to feature The Salem Convention Center on the cover of the Winter 2012 edition! Northwest Meetings + Events is circulated to approximately 10,000 planners, suppliers and related professionals in the Northwest and includes information on a range of topics, from venues and supplier news, tips, best practices and industry developments. The magazine featured us, along with Salem Riverfront Park, in the story What A Capital Idea where state capitals such as Salem, Boise, Juneau, and Olympia were highlighted as ideal destinations to host a meeting or event. We hope you will also cast your vote in their 2nd Annual Readers' Choice Best Of Awards. This is an opportunity for readers to spotlight outstanding suppliers and venues in the Northwest! Some of the categories include Best Florist/Event Décor, Best Historic Venue, Best Catering Company, Best Hotel, Best Venue, etc. Voting ends on Friday, February 24 at 5 p.m. so hurry!
