Are Conventions And Trade Shows A Perk?
I have been wondering recently about public perception about trade shows and conventions being a perk or a "bonus." We see the public calling for the heads of companies that are giving huge bonuses to their employees, and watching as they go to lavish resorts, etc.
I like the take that Will Ng has at MISoapbox about the recent breaking news of meeting and events being a perk. He discusses the fact that even a gossip site like TMZ has jumped in with their pitchforks and torches. This is obviously what is on the mind of everyone these days. What do yo think? Is a convention in Miami or Las Vegas or some great destination a perk? Would it make a difference if the destination was not like a resort? Chicago in winter, or some other non-getaway destination? Perceptions are that its a party and even gossip sites are in on the fun.
