A 25th birthday is definitely a milestone in one’s life. They are a quarter-century old. It wasn’t that long ago (okay maybe I’m stretching the amount of time here) that our life span wasn’t much longer than that. And no, over the hill themes won’t do for 25th birthday party ideas. Today, 25 is still a young age and thus 25th birthday party ideas should be themed around having a good time with friends and family.

One of the reasons why I love Christmas is that it adds an abundance of color to what would normally be a bleak time. I also think it’s one of the reasons why I don’t hate the cooler weather arriving. Many meeting and event planners are winding down their actual meetings during this time. However, for those meeting planners that do host meetings around Christmas time, they are treated to all of the sights and sounds that are synonymous with Christmas.

Transportation is often included in meetings. Meeting planners often have the task of making sure that attendees are transferred to their hotel in an efficient yet cost-effective manner. While many delegates consider transportation to be only a small component of the overall meeting, in many cases the transportation budget can be fairly large. Today meeting planners have to find savings while executing a successful meeting.

We all want to make the world a better place. Well most of us anyways. While we seem to have mastered incorporating sustainable solutions in our day-to-day lives, we sometimes drop the ball when we travel. Sustainable tourism is becoming popular. Travel sites are now incorporating sustainable travel in their packages.

A couple of weeks ago I was having dinner with a colleague at a downtown restaurant and we couldn’t help but notice that the table beside us was celebrating a 30th birthday. It was obvious that the people at the table had been friends for some time. The one part of the conversation that struck me funny was from the birthday girl herself. It was obvious that this milestone was having an impact on her and she couldn’t resist telling everyone how she could not believe how old she is.

I am a great planner. Now I’m not blowing my own horn here. Rather, I’m pointing out a character flaw of mine. I tend to get bogged down with the planning side of the business. And by planning, I mean planning my to do list. Sometimes I plan so much that I overlook the fact that I’m missing deadlines. I can’t tell you how many times that I might be scanning my social media accounts and stumble across an article on apps that can increase my productivity.

Determining the number of hotel rooms for a room block can be frustrating for a meeting planner. There are a lot of factors that need to be determined. As a seasoned meeting planner will tell you, it’s not as simple as telling your hotel contact that you need 100 room nights for your group. Rather, there’s this nasty little clause called attrition. Attrition rates are put in place to ensure that the planner, or group, requesting the room block is actually going to use those rooms.
