ISES AZ & The Phoenix Business Journal - Advertise Today!

Dear ISES AZ Members,

Recently we announced that we have formed a partnership with the Phoenix Business Journal (also a fellow ISES AZ member). For the last several months the ISES AZ Board of Directors has set out to find ways to promote ISES/our members to sources that might not yet know about us. One of the many sources that we have zoned in on is the local corporate market. While we are fortunate enough to count a handful of corporate planners as members, we have also found that there are a number of other key employees being tasked with coordinating the meetings/events that are not networked within the industry. This continues to become more prevalent as corporations downsize - sometimes shifting the planning responsibilities to administrative assistants and human resource executives.

The partnership with the Phoenix Business Journal is an ideal opportunity for us to get in front of these potential lead sources. A special pull-out-and-save guide will be featured in the May 29th edition of the publication. The Phoenix Convention Center (also a fellow ISES member) is a major partner in this as well. The pull out guide will feature advertisements – as well as editorial on everything from how to plan an event, to reasons to keep them local, etc.

In addition, the Phoenix Business Journal will be producing an event that will coincide with the guide. It will take place on Thursday, May 28th. This will be a half-day industry summit that will include a luncheon, education sessions, trends in the industry and will culminate with a social function.

If you would like the letter from the Phoenix Business Journal's Publisher Don Henninger about the section and stats on the Phoenix Business Journal/Noteworthy News please email David Cox, dcox@universityofphoenixstadium or Charlene James, cjames@imax.com.

We appreciate the willingness of the Phoenix Business Journal to consider us a partner in this endeavor, and their commitment to promoting keeping business local. Opportunities to get involved and be a part of both the publication and the event exist on all levels. Whether you are interested in placing an ad, showcasing your product or service or attending the event, we invite you to be a part of this! Our hope is that this can become an annual partnership that showcases ISES AZ members and what we do best.

This is one of many projects that ISES AZ is proud to announce. In the coming weeks you will be receiving info that will include how to best put your ISES membership to work, an online membership survey and more. There are a number of initiatives in place that we invite you to be a part of.

Again, thank you for being a member of ISES AZ. We hope that you will consider taking advantage of the opportunity to be featured in the Phoenix Business Journal’s Meeting & Event Industry Guide.
