      <description>I would like to personally invite you to attend a highly-interactive research study on behalf of Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs). We have found that many corporate meeting professionals do not utilize the services of DMOs and it is our goal to determine why. MPI greatly values your opinions as an expert in the meeting industry and is eager to hear from you.</description>
