No matter how enlightening, inspiring or thought-provoking your event program is, let's face it—everyone wants some great entertainment, too. Jaki Baskow of Baskow and Associates gives tips on getting the best without spending the most:
When you can’t afford Journey, there’s always a great Journey tribute band that will fill the bill. So instead of more than $300,000 for the real deal, you can pay $3,000 to $5,000 and get the same live-music excitement and the same feel-good, throwback tunes. Having the real act is always impressive, but your main goal is to have a great experience that your attendees will remember. The tribute band delivers, and you come in on budget. -- MeetingsNet
