According to Meetings Magazine<\/a>, the former president and CEO of the Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau, Wood’s job is to maximize Atlantic City\u2019s potential as a meetings hub. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cKnowing that the convention market is one that used to be vibrant here in Atlantic City years ago, (we\u2019re trying to) reenergize that aspect of the business and bring more meetings and conventions back to Atlantic City.\u201d The effort has seen results, with 8 percent more group bookings and 15 percent more convention-related room nights, in 2014 than in 2013.<\/p>\n

So we have very positive momentum,\u201d he says, adding, \u201cWe\u2019re seeing growth in multiple segments, including corporate, regional association and sports, so that\u2019s very encouraging for us.\u201d Sports convention business in particular will benefit from the new Atlantic City Sports Commission, launched in January.<\/p>\n
