		<description>Hello- I would like toget these worksheets discussed in this paragraph below, however the link doesn&#039;t seem to be working. Thank You- Karen Hood, CTIS


Convention centers determine the value and priority of your event based on the number of hotel rooms booked, meeting space needed, F&amp;B requirements and ancillary services needed. The more valuable your event, the more likely you are to get your desired date. Convention centers use different tools to determine value. The Ontario Convention Center, for example, uses the Economic Impact Worksheet, which determines the economic impact of the event based on figures conducive to the Ontario market, and the ROI Worksheet, which determines how the event impacts the bottom line revenue of the center based on the history of a center. This information is invaluable leverage for you. (You can download both worksheets here.)</description>

		<description>Hi, 
I am an Events&#039; Management Student, working on my dissertation, the research question - &#039;How culturally effective is colour as a communication tool&#039;.  
I just wanted to say I really liked your article and it made me feel great that I&#039;m not the only one that feels really passionate about colour and the effectiveness as a communication tool. 

Thank you!
Kim</description>
