Experient Brings "Meet With Success^®" Series to Fort Worth

Twinsburg, OH - Experient, the source for integrated meeting and event solutions, will offer its unique and informative Meet With Success program to the Fort Worth Convention Center on May 23, 2007.

Meet With Success brings event professionals together for a full-day of education, networking and information sharing from some of the event industry's most well-recognized thought leaders. Attendees will learn winning strategies, time-tested tips and meet fellow event professionals.

"The best short course in meeting and event management," is how attendees describe Meet With Success.

"Fort Worth is a fantastic location for our series. Texas and the rest of the metropolitan area is home to a wide range of corporate, association, and tradeshow professionals and we look forward to providing them a great educational program right in their own backyard!"
