We had an incredible time at this year’s Destination Michigan Grand Rapids Meetings Marketplace! Last week, Laura and Haleigh from our team had the opportunity to showcase our destination and share a taste of the Apple Capital of MI with some goodies from Robinnette's. 🍎 This year’s theme, “The Power of Play,” really resonates with us as we support meeting planners in Grand Rapids. Interactive moments and lighthearted experiences are essential ingredients for creating memorable and impactful meetings. Here in Grand Rapids, there is no shortage of opportunities to bring creativity, connection, and fun to every event. We can’t wait to see how you and your team utilize the "Power of Play" to experience Grand Rapids!
