Mt. Pleasant is a great meeting location in the state of Michigan. It is home to many associations, government and corporate meetings and conferences throughout the year. Here are five reasons why meeting planners choose Mt. Pleasant for their meetings:
- Great Central Location
Mt. Pleasant is located in the center of the state making it only one or two hours from anywhere in the Lower Peninsula. Here’s a breakdown: Mt. Pleasant is less than an hour from the Great Lakes Bay region, an hour from Lansing, 1 ½ hours from Grand Rapids and many northern Michigan cities, and two hours from Kalamazoo or Detroit.
- Grow Attendance
There’s a reason why meeting planners choose Mt. Pleasant – it’s where attendance goes to grow! The centralized location offers a shorter drive for all attendees, leaving no excuse for low attendance! Everyone can easily drive to Mt. Pleasant and still be home in time to tuck the kids in.
