I am conducting a research study for the purposes of completing my Phd study in Tourism Management. The study is to develop a competiveness model for the conference industry. Many of you have attended conferences for various reasons and have preferences relating to your conference experience. I would appreciate if you could spare 10 to 15 minutes to complete my survey. The survey involves identifying a preferred conferencing attribute and then ranking/rating the importance thereof. If you are interested in assisting me with this data, kindly leave your e-mail address so that I can forward you a copy of the questionnaire or contact me : [email protected]. Please feel free to forward the survey to your colleagues in order to assist in gathering a larger sample of participants. Thanking you in advance.
