Meeting Planners and Economical Decisions

Greetings and Salutations everyone!

We're on our way back from Nashville where we had one of the best GSA Squares shows ever!  Our digital version was a huge hit - and we're already planning our next Squares show.  Below is a photo from the event.

This morning I picked up a USA Today newspaper and in the Money section was an interesting article on meeting planners cutting back on meeting expenses.  Here is a link to the article:

There are some great money saving ideas in this article.  Having your event at a less fancy hotel - cutting back on extra snacks and drinks - opting out of extensive decorations (chair covers, etc.) - and really focusing on the heart and soul of the meeting.  While a game show is something that many would perceive as "something extra" - it is one of the best training and motivational tools you can have at an event.

Because we realize that budgets are tighter and that every line item is being more closely looked at, Game Show America is doing our part to save our clients money.  Why spend extra money on additional audio-visual equipment or audience response?  At GSA, we include audio-visual with most of our productions, and we have a variety of audience response options available if you want 100% participation.  All of our shows come complete with on-site production staff and a professional game show host, making for a very efficient event.

Our next stop is Chicago for an exciting event with our new ARS Keypads, and then it's off to California for a casino promotion.

That's all for now!  Until next time...keep on playing!
