Caucus

Planning for Your Marketplace On-Site Caucus

  • Caucuses will be held Tuesday morning from 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM.
  • ABA will assign you a room for your on-site caucus.  Rooms will be listed on-site at Marketplace. Room assignments will also be sent to you prior to Marketplace.
  • There will be copiers available in the Gaylord Texan Business Center, as well as in the Resource Central to reproduce your leads.
  • Make sure your state delegates know how important your caucus is.

During Your Appointments:

  • Note whether the on-site delegate has changed.
  • Mark your canceled appointments and those who did not show for any scheduled appointments.
  • Find out if the person you met with is the decision-maker in putting together the tour product for their company.  If not, who is?
  • Note if they are planning to come to your area.
  • If they do come to your area, find out what tour partners they currently use, what they like about them, and what could use improvement.
  • Take notes on what information they are most interested in, for example rates, complimentary policies, marketing assistance, etc.
  • Keep records of the information requested for follow-up materials.
  • Highlight the appointments that provided your most promising leads and relay this information to your state delegates.
  • Ask other local DMOs attending Marketplace to help during the caucus by relaying their top 2-5 leads.
