For many associations the Annual Convention or Conference is the only means of gaining face to face contact with members who support it. It is also the most effective way to gain member feedback to direct and guide the organization. For most associations, it is the primary source of income to support the work of the organization throughout the year. The best compliment that a convention planner can hear is to hear nothing at all. That means the event ran smoothly and the planner did their job well.
