"More than ever, planners are looking for outdoor spaces, creative team-building activities, and offerings that inspire attendees during the conference and in their free time.  Our new Between-The-Sessions campaign focuses on how The Palm Beaches offer these in a style you cannot get anywhere else," said Kelly Cavers, Senior Vice President Group Sales & Services for Discover The Palm Beaches.  "While business insights take place in the ballroom, meaningful connections and ideas can be sparked in a variety of settings like a sea turtle conservation facility or the international polo club.  In addition, our Destination Services team works to engage our outstanding community partners to provide planners with those "wow" moments between conference sessions that both inspire and connect meeting attendees.  Services can include securing a keynote speaker from vital local industries, finding an area artist to create a custom piece of art during the meeting, awakening attendees with an on-demand coffee experience from a local roaster, or creating a unique volunteer and team-building opportunity like a beach-clean up."
