The 9 Sectors The standards were divided into 9 sectors covering key aspects of event planning and execution. They include: accommodations, audio visual/production, communications, destinations, exhibits, food/ beverage, meeting venue, onsite office and transportation. Each sector is separate and can be reviewed and implemented separately, independent of the others. For example, if your meeting involves AV, F&B, and a venue, but no exhibits, communications or transportation, etc., then only those three sectors need to be the focus. MYTHBUSTERS:
