According to recent press release received from Christine Hinz Communications: The Puerto Rico Convention Bureau has launched an exclusive online education program tailored to meeting planners. You should know, Puerto Rico Smooth Meeting University is the meeting and convention industry’s first centralized education portal which was developed with Questex Hospitality+Travel, the owners and publishers of Travel Agent, one of the most respected travel trade publications in the industry.
“The Puerto Rico Smooth Meetings Specialist course and Meeting University are a big step to evolving the way meeting planners obtain the tools and knowledge they need to meet varying customer requests worldwide while shortening the sales and implementation cycles,” remarked John McMahon, executive vice president, Questex Hospitality+Travel.”

Through a series of online courses, Puerto Rico Smooth Meeting University provides meeting planners with the latest and most comprehensive industry education available on hosting a meeting in Puerto Rico. In addition to detailed lesson plans, Puerto Rico Smooth Meeting University also provides detailed room layouts, an online RFP form and other helpful tools for planning a group program on the island.
“We saw a clear need for an online professional development resource for the MICE Market and we sought a partner who shared our commitment to training meeting planners through dynamic content offerings and greater flexibility for how and when they educate themselves,” remarked John McMahon, executive vice president, Questex Hospitality+Travel.
After completing a series of courses on topics such as meeting hotels, the Puerto Rico Convention Center Pedro Rosselló, history and culture, golf, shopping, dining and nightlife, planners earn a Puerto Rico Smooth Meeting Specialist designation, complete with a rewards component.
