Destination Halifax’s social media community site, http://www.halifaxsociable.com/, offers a new resource to meeting planners thinking about hosting events in Halifax , Nova Scotia with a new M&C blog. The M&C blog at Halifax Sociable! features tips and news updates from the Halifax meetings industry.

"Meeting planners are busy," says Hélène Moberg, Destination Halifax’s Executive Director of Sales. "They need to be able to easily access information to get the job done. The M&C blog is just another way to communicate with planners and keep them up to date on what’s happening in http://www.destinationhalifax.com/conventions/group-servicing"

The blog at Halifax Sociable! is the latest addition to Destination Halifax’s suite of online tools for planners, including an online Request for Proposals, database of Halifax convention and meeting suppliers and capacity charts for venues in the greater Halifax, Nova Scotia area.
