Meetings Focus - Durham Meetings & Entertainment

"Three quarters of Research Triangle Park is within [Durham's] boundaries, and so is Duke University. This means about 4,000 tech, medical and education meetings find Durham’s side of The Triangle a great destination choice annually. 'Durham has a unique sense of place—not a typical city with a downtown district and lots of big buildings,' says Corey D. Bizzell, director of group sales and services for the Durham CVB. 'We are doing lots of revitalization, particularly of our former industrial areas like the Tobacco District, where groups now find great event spaces, restaurants and entertainment.'"

Rejuvenate Meetings - Corey Bizzell

"Corey Bizzell believes it’s important to enter an organization or job from the bottom to learn it all. Potential employers have puzzled over this, but he’s managed to keep climbing upwards every time... Repeat the scenario several times, and you’ll follow Bizzell’s path through to hotels and a third-party event management group to the Durham CVB... His local MPI chapter recognized his winning recipe in May, naming Bizzell Supplier of the Year."
