Saint John hosted 318 meeting and events in 2009 which brought in over 11.7 million to the local economy.
Sally Cummings of Venue Saint John tells CHSJ News that it's a busy time for Venue Saint John with a slew of big events in the Port City this year ranging from the Acadian Games in June and a Women's Barber Shop singers convention in November.
Venue Saint John gave away a $2500 dollar ring in their Glitz and Glam promotion for a Mother's Day to a woman from Ottawa who took part in a convention for 400 meeting planners.
