meeting2

The book opens with an introduction on why Florida has so much to offer people looking for a place to meet. Then we include some tips on scheduling a meeting, tips from the experts. This book differs from the stock material put out by the state and local areas in that it explains more than just the size of venues and their facilities but a lot of who-to-contact sources that can help make an event trouble-free and some interesting locations that are not covered in stock guides, usually because they are smaller and out-of-the-way. We're assuming that there are meeting planners who are looking for just that so they can accomplish something without members being distracted by night life and touristy-type stuff. Of course, for those who want to offer some distractions, they're included as well.

The main part of the book is the locations around Florida. These locations range from the big places with lots to offer (Miami, Orlando, etc.) to little places that have only one or two venues but are ideal for getting away from it all. Each locations includes all of the venues, what each has to offer (square footage, ceiling heights, facilities, seating capacity, etc.) and contact

information, each a source of more information, reservations, ideas, etc. I'm calling each venue person for their input and ideas. A list of hotels capable of handling meeting participants is included in each section with names, addresses, phone/fax numbers, websites, e-mail addresses and contact person.

Related services (caterers, transportation, printers, coordinators, etc.) are listed in a Source Chapter which is the second part of the book and lists hundreds of service providers by area, along with CV&Bs, tourist offices, etc.. Format at this point is flexible, based on our ideas and what the publisher feels will make the best-selling book.

Each chamber is listed like this:

205 rooms and suites, restaurant, lounge, swimming pool. Meeting space accommodates 10 to 300; Grand Room (3,200 square feet -175-350); Regal Room (1,000 square feet -50-100); Majestic Room (1,150 square feet -60-125); Regency Room (567 square feet -15-40); Imperial Room (483 square feet -15-40); Monarch Room (720 square feet -15-40); 3 executive conference rooms averaging 460 square feet each.

Here's a sample of the content on Jacksonville. Note: This might be too lengthy considering the total pages in the book and the fact other areas have to be covered, but it will give you an idea of the information available. I called the C&V Bureau there, talked to the coordinator and we both decided this is the type of information planners look and ask for. We can do this on every Florida location with the understanding Miami, Tampa, Orlando would be loaded with options and Ocala, Key West and Panama City would have limited options. But this is a format we can follow throughout the book if it meets with your approval. If there's anything else you think we should include, I can include that.

MEETING FACILITIES IN A NUTSHELL

Architecturally unique, the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center is the prime meeting facility in Jacksonville. It's connected, via the Automated Skyway Express, a skyway monorail system, to nearby hotels and will soon be connected with other downtown hotels. A $30 million redevelopment of the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts places it among some of the best facilities in the southeast. The new venue includes 22,00 square feet of meeting space, 3,200 seat concert theater, a 600-seat theater and a new, 1,800-seat symphony hall. Also refurbished is the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Coliseum, a multi-purpose facility that can

accommodate 10,000 meeting attendees or onlookers for any event. The transformable floor becomes an ice rink, basketball court or trade show area.

Conference Center at the Avenues includes more than 4,900 square feet of meeting space that can be tailored to groups of 14 to 112. Custom features include training rooms with 24 computer terminal hookups, board rooms and teleconferencing capabilities.

For outdoor event, Metropolitan Park can host up to 3,000 visitors in the pavilion for 300 in one of three group picnic shelters. Another natural retreat is the 270-room Ramada Conference Center and Amphitheater, located across the river from downtown Jacksonville. Located in 19 acres of woods, the conference center can accommodate meetings for 1,200 or banquets seating up to 900 guests.

Facilities for smaller groups include the Omni Jacksonville Hotel located in the business district. With 354 rooms overlooking the St. Johns River and connected by the Skyway Express to the Prime Osborn Convention Center, it has meeting space for 650.

Across the river from the Omni, the Jacksonville Hilton and Towers offers 13,000 square feet of meeting space for groups of up to 150. Visitors can board the Hilton Special Delivery, a 100-foot luxury yacht anchored behind the hotel. It's available for receptions and dinner cruises.
