07 Dec 09 Yippee! It’s Government Meeting Time!
Planning for government meetings is never a problem when you consider all of the wonderful attractions that our American National Parks system has to offer. There are National Park locations near beachside resorts, cool mountain streams, and in exotic locations such as Alaska, Hawaii, Wyoming, The Virgin Islands, or Guam.
With our current government funding cutbacks and resource readjustments that are affecting government meeting plans from coast-to-coast, the only way for meeting planners to beat the system today is through working with the system by taking your important conference or business meeting on the road to a place that the government already owns.
The majority of the US National Parks have thriving tourist industries built up around their exteriors so that appropriate accommodations and meeting facilities are available to government employees near the chosen park if not actually on the property.
With so many people involved in healthy lifestyle routines today, a simple working cruise to the Virgin Islands to explore the government’s sandy beaches, beautiful coral reefs, and breathtakingly beautiful scenery, might just be the big answer towards planning your next government conference or meeting agenda.
From the days of our youth, we all remember that little rhyme about making lemonade when life hands you lemons. Funding cutbacks did not stop the President of the United States from remembering that Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park could be his conference spot during the year 2009. If the government owns the land, it is fine to plan a government meeting or conference at that location.

10 Nov 09 World Meeting Time Planner Tool
We just found an interesting new meeting planning tool – the World Meeting Planner.
Planning an important conference call or videoconference with participants from many different locations around the globe can be difficult, especially when you need to find a time in the day when everyone is in their business hours, or at least close to business hours! This world meeting planner tool allows you to select the date for your meeting and the various locations of the people attending.
Your world meeting time planner results show you the relationship each location has in regards to daytime hours with any needed adjustments for locations observing daylight saving time, so you can quickly target a time that works for everyone who is to be included in the virtual meeting.
For anyone who has had to try to plan a teleconference with participants from many locations around the world, you know how difficult it often is to determine a time that is convenient for all, and doesn't have anyone having to be on the call at 3am. The world meeting planner tool is a great resource for scheduling those calls and conferences.
