SYNCHRONICITIES
Baltimore partners with San Antonio and Anaheim to create one meeting solution
Baltimore, Anaheim/Orange County
and San Antonio joined forces to create
“Synchronicities,” a three-city, multi-
year booking package designed to save
meeting professionals time and money.
The geographic diversity of the three
cities, seamless knowledge transfer,
enhanced marketing and attendance
building and united services platform
make the partnership a natural fit
for planners who rotate their events
to different parts of the country.
Synchronicities successfully booked
the International Association of Events
and Exhibitions (IAEE), the National
Postal Forum and the Association of
Public-Safety Communications Officials,
each for three-year rotations with this
innovative platform.
Building an
Unparalleled Solution
With the goal to assist professionals
in achieving their specific business
objectives by offering customizable
options, personalization is the foundation
of Synchronicities. Anaheim, Baltimore
and San Antonio conducted in-depth
research with meeting professionals
through focus groups and surveys to
build the Synchronicities platform. As a
result, the platform provides meeting
professionals with an unbeatable
combination of value and resources.
> ENHANCED MARKETING/
ATTENDANCE BUILDING:
Optimal attendance is the goal for every
meeting. That’s why we work to support
your strategic goals and extend your
marketing efforts through an enhanced
marketing campaign. In addition to
customized destination marketing tools,
Synchronicities works with you to identify
key audiences and need areas to build
attendance across the three cities.
> SEAMLESS KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER:
The teams in each Synchronicities city
work together to ensure that your
event transitions seamlessly across
each destination — it’s like a three-year
extension of your staff. We share profiles,
“ WHEN YOU HAVE
THREE REALLY STRONG
DESTINATIONS
POOLING RESOURCES,
in constant ommunication,
supporting one another in
their efforts — that’s huge
for a show organizer.”
“One of the strengths of the
Synchronicities partnership is the
sharing of intellectual capital between
the three cities,” said Al Hutchinson,
president and CEO of Visit Baltimore.
“The communication between the
cities will ensure consistent service
delivery and simplify the meeting
planning process.”
Working together through
Synchronicities also provides
enhanced opportunities for the three
destinations to invest in industry
education, a priority shared by all
cities. Partnering with esteemed
organizations like IAEE, PCMA and
Association Forum of Chicagoland
nurtures relationships with influential
leaders, allowing the destinations to
better anticipate industry trends and
share these findings with their clients.
