Meetings Quest Roars into Nation's Motorsports Capital with Event in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, September 9-10

LOS ANGELES, July 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Meetings Quest, the nation's longest-running series of educational and networking events for association and corporate meeting planners, will be held September 9–10 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. Exhibitors reserving exhibit space before August 1 will save $600 off the cost of a 10' x 10' booth.

Hosted by the Cabarrus County Convention & Visitors Bureau and presented by Association News magazine, Meetings Quest will allow exhibitors to meet by appointment in their exhibit space with association and corporate meeting planners who do not typically attend meetings-industry trade shows.

The show will take place in Cabarrus County, home to Charlotte Motor Speedway and eight of the last 10 Sprint Cup Championship trophies. Cabarrus County is ideal for meetings and events of all sizes and budgets, offering more than 3,000 hotel rooms and facilities for groups as small as 10 or as large as 167,000. Meetings Quest will be held at the Concord Convention Center and Embassy Suites Golf Resort & Spa in Concord, North Carolina.

Meetings Quest, which was acquired by Schneider Publishing last year, relaunched in May in Mesa, Arizona. The event was held during National Travel and Tourism Week and served to highlight the importance of meetings to the overall health of the travel industry.

"Meetings Quest in Mesa generated a great deal of excitement," said Timothy Schneider, president and CEO of Schneider Publishing, which publishes Association News magazine and organizes both Meetings Quest and the award-winning TEAMS Conference & Expo. "We look forward to bringing this unique learning and networking opportunity to Cabarrus County and showcasing an excellent destination for meetings and events."
