Unique Venues Debuts First-Ever Magazine To Educate Meeting Planners On Using Unique Spaces

Now available, it’s FREE for professional planners in U.S. & Canada

EDWARDS, COLORADO (August 6, 2013) – Unique Venues, a marketing and membership organization that connects one-of-a-kind event locations with meeting planners, recently released a new edition of its highly coveted industry magazine this month. With members across the U.S. and Canada that fall into categories of arenas and stadiums, camps and retreats, colleges and universities, business and conference centers, cruise ships, historical/cultural sites and special event venues, the articles in this publication speak to the vast benefits of hosting a meeting in a space that goes beyond a typical boardroom.

This exclusive publication has never been offered before and comes from the leading authority that has worked closely with the unique venues industry for nearly 30 years. In more than 64 pages, planners will have access to in-depth articles and tactical information that can help them understand the particulars of working with non-conventional venues. The editorial content is an honest look at the benefits and the items to be aware of when planning a meeting or event at a unique space. Targeted pieces showcase the value of built-in ambiance, the benefits of small markets and helpful tips from meeting professionals. Another ten pages are devoted to exclusive member listings to help planners find event venues in any geographic location. “There has never been a publication like this available to meeting planners before,” says Michele Nichols, founder of Unique Venues. “For more than 27 years, we were at the leading edge, publishing a planner's guide; now, we are thrilled to take it a step further and increase the coverage of this growing field with four dedicated magazine issues released each year.”

The publication schedule will include one magazine per quarter: Two devoted solely to colleges and universities (the largest member segment), and two covering the vast array of other Unique Venues members. Each print issue is distributed FREE of charge to professional and accredited planners in the U.S. and Canada. As well, the magazine is delivered electronically to an additional 10,000+ professional and freelance planners. To join the mailing list for Unique Venues magazine, simply register here.
